	Caithness CWS - Pentland Firth - Index
		The Pentland Firth lies between the northern Scottish mainland and the islands of Orkney and has a well-deserved reputation among the world’s mariners as a channel to be navigated with great care.
		Charts of the Pentland Firth were inaccurate and of little practical use to navigators until Murdoch Mackenzie, an Orkney schoolmaster and mathematician, carried out the first modern survey of the islands in the 1740s.
		After navigating the Firth, the pilot was normally put ashore to make his way home on foot or in his own boat which would have been towed behind the ship in the meantime.

	Caithness CWS - Pentland Firth - Tides
		The W-going stream W of Hoy is, similarly, the combination, W of Rora Head, of the SW-going coastal stream from the vicinity of Kame of Hoy and the NW-going coastal stream, emanating from Pentland Firth, which rapidly loses strength with the distance from Tor Ness.
		Pentland Firth separates the Scottish mainland from Orkney and is entered from the W between Dunnet Head and Tor ness (6 ½ miles NNE) and from the E between Duncansby Head and Old Head (6 ½ miles NE).
		The E approach to the firth is divided into 2 channels by Pentland Skerries, an extensive group of islets and rocks lying nearly midway between Duncansby Head (mainland) and Old Head (Orkney).

	FIRTH, Joseph [Pentland], C.M.G. - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		Joseph Firth was born on 25 March 1859 at Wellington, the son of Aaron Firth, a stonemason, and Ann, née Priestnell.
		Firth believed in the virtues of manliness, toil, and duty in preference to ease and pleasure, and transmitted to his pupils an abhorrence of slovenliness, sneaking, and all things mean and unworthy.
		Firth was untiring in his efforts to overcome this lack, and was in fact partly responsible by the sweat of his own brow and that of his boys for the improvement of grounds and the provision of playing fields.

	Orkneyjar - The Enchanted Quernstone (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Pentland Firth is a notorious stretch of water that separates Orkney from the northern tip of the Scottish mainland.
		This Orcadian folktale not only explains why the Firth is salty, but also neatly explains the existence of a treacherous whirlpool known as The Swelchie.
		While sailing through the Pentland Firth, Mysing asked the giantesses to grind salt which they did but unfortunately in such quantities that the boat sank near the island of Stroma creating the whirlpool called The Swelchie.

	PENTLAND FIRTH SERVICE - SUNDAY APRIL 6

		People will be well aware that we are very keen to bring Hamnavoe onto the Pentland Firth route, for which she was specifically designed, as soon as possible.
