Description Aerial view over Pitmaduthy Moss to Loch Eye, Easter Ross, looking E.
Date 2002
Collection Papers of James Sloan Bone, landscape historian, Inverness, Highland, Scotland
Catalogue Number SC 1909802
Category On-line Digital Images
Scope and Content This is a general view looking across Easter Ross to the Moray Firth with Loch Eye at top left. The village of Fearn, with its Abbey, can be seen to the right of Loch Eye. The area in the foreground is Newfield. The peninsula beyond this view is called Tarbat Ness, tarbat being a Norse name for a portage, a long boat-pull across the neck of a peninsula. In medieval times, Loch Eye would have been much larger, and the area of this image would have been marshy ground, allowing a boat to be pulled across it, thus avoiding the long sea journey round Tarbat Ness. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
