| Description | Sheet 21 of the Ordnance Survey One-inch Popular Edition of Scotland. It was issued in 1930 at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile (1: 63,360) from a survey done between 1927 and 1928. The first Ordnance Survey of this area was done between 1871 and 1875. This sheet shows the Dornoch Firth, from Tarbat Ness up to the town of Bonarbridge at the head of the Firth, and some of the land to the west of the town, with the area south and north of the firth, including the town of Dornoch on the north side of the firth, and the town of Tain on the south side. It includes the parishes of Golspie, Creich, Dornoch, Edderton, Tain, Tarbat, Fearn, and parts of Rosskeen and Kincardine, and the towns of Golspie and Brora. At the right side, in the north, the sheet stretches from a point off the coast of Sutherland just to the east of Easter Clynekirkton, north of Brora, to a point off the coast of Ross-shire just to the east of Hilton Cadboll, in the south. At the left side, the sheet stretches from the upper reaches of Strathgrudie, in the north, to the western end of Loch Morie, in the south. There are two sets of References, the scale statement ‘One Inch to One Statute Mile - 1/63360’, with accompanying scale bar, and two further scale bars of 1 centimetre to 1000 yards, and 1 centimetre to 1 kilometre. Contours and fathoms are shown, with accompanying information about measurement. |
