The Dornoch Firth is a firth on the east coast of Highland, in northern Scotland. It forms part of the boundary between Ross and Cromarty, to the south, and Sutherland, to the north.
Together with Loch Fleet it is a designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for wildlife conservation purposes. Additionally, together with Morrich More, it has the designation of Special Area of Conservation.
In 1991 the firth was bridged, the new Dornoch Bridge providing a shorter route on the A9 road between Inverness and Thurso; until then traffic had to go by way of Bonar Bridge at the head of the inlet.
A hill in Easter Ross, Struie Hill rises to 373m (1223 feet) to the south of the Dornoch Firth, 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Tain. The B9176 Struie Road from Alness to Bonar Bridge was a former drove road developed in 1810-15 by the Commission for Highland Roads and Bridges.PLACENAME:Struie HillOLD COUNTY/PARISH:ROSSSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:35522KEYWORDS:
