	Firth
		A firth is a long narrow arm of the sea in Scotland, and may be part of an estuary, or just an inlet[?], or even a strait (as in the case of the Pentland Firth).
		A firth is 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 Inverness is rarely identified on modern maps, but it is this firth which forms a connection via the River Ness, Loch Ness and the other lochs of the Great Glen[?] and stretches of the Caledonian Canal with the Firth of Lorn[?] on the West coast of Scotland.
