Scope and Content Tain Scalps is the name given to the shallow sandy bay in the angle of the Dornoch Firth by Tain. Scalps is a Scots word for rocks sticking out of water or grass. The land was originally gifted to the town by James VI in 1612. The Glenmorangie Distillery is at lower left of the image. It began as a brewery in 1730 and was converted for use as a distillery in 1843. To its right is Morangie Farm which has a possible church site. The parish church of Morangie is listed as one of the churches of the Diocese of Ross. On the far side of the water is the area of Morrich More, currently used as a bombing range. Tain, with a large number of sites of archaeological interest, is at centre right of picture. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
