	Firth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodies of water named "firths" tend to be commoner on the east coast, or in the south west of the country, although the Firth of Lorne is an exception to this.
		A firth is generally the result of glaciation and very often associated with a large river, where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed to an estuary, such as may be seen in the Firth of Clyde.
		The Firth of Thames is a bay at the mouth of the Waihou/Thames River in New Zealand.

	Cromarty
		At the dawn of the nineteenth century the streets of Cromarty were astir with seafaring men for then the industry of the town was concerned with the broad waters that lay beyond the Sutors.
		Cromarty was an important centre of the fishing industry and in the fishertown men and women baited lines for the boats at anchor in the harbour while the sea air was heavy with the tang of fish curing from a previous catch.
		The Cromarty Firth, protected from east winds and open seas by the bastions of the Sutors, had been from time immemorial a haven for shipping and its geographical situation was well adapted to make it a centre for coastal trading.

	Cromarty - Black Isle Info
		Cromarty is the ideal destination in the Highlands, whether you wish to stop, or are touring.
		Cromarty combines the advantages of its convenience as a base from which to travel throughout the Highlands, with an apparent detachment from the mainstream of tourist routes, giving the best of both worlds.
		Above all Cromarty has the ability and charm to be what you want it to be: an enjoyable and beautiful place to visit or stay, a centre from which to travel the Highlands, or a quiet retreat from the hurly burly of the main tourist routes.

	Cromarty Firth
		In 1825 there were 18 fish curers in Cromarty but by 1878 there were none, possibly due to the fact that Avoch, on the south coast of the Black Isle had been established as the main fishing port of the area.
		Cromarty was the jewel in the crown, providing genteel living whilst Invergordon, Alness Evanton and Nigg were for the working population, the coming of the railway in 1863 made Invergordon become the premier port, instead of Cromarty.
		The firth teems with seals which can be seen sunning themselves on the rocks at the right time of the tide, especially in the area of Foulis Ferry, now currently run on behalf of the Ross family.

	Untitled Document
		Historically, and indeed prehistorically, the Cromarty Firth formed part of a vital highway along the coast of Britain and across the North Sea to Europe and Scandinavia.
		The Firth's sheltered situation and large natural harbour are likely to have been particularly important at all periods and its maritime archaeology is expected to be correspondingly rich and generally relatively well protected from erosion processes (compared for example to many west coast areas where there are strong currents and rocky shores).
		These often vividly illustrate the firth's long history of use: ranging from medieval ecclesiastical remains to piers and 18th century granaries which were used to store estate "rents" prior to their shipment southwards.
