A “firth” is a Scottish word for an inlet or bay and the Moray Firth runs from Chanonry Point in the east to the Beauly Firth in the west. The Moray Firth is well known for its dolphins and whales with Bottlenose Dolphins being seen regularly at Chanonry Point where they go to feed. You can also spot porpoises and seals as well as various species of birds.
