And of course up in the north, the Moray Firth :-) I wonder if there's anything referred to as "Firth" in a non-Scotland place, perhaps up in Canada or in NZ?

update: yes (in England, Germany, NZ and Antarctica)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firth#English_firths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firth#English_firths

- smackay 7y agoFrom wikipedia: The name is presumed to be a corruption of the Old Norse "Petlandsfjörð",[1] meaning "the fjord of Pictland", and is completely unrelated to the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentland_Firth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentland_Firth
