Beauly Firth (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Beauly Firth (Scottish Gaelic: Linne Fharair) is a firth in northern Scotland. It is the outlet for both the River Beauly and River Ness. The Beauly Firth is bounded at its western end by the town of Beauly and its eastern by Inverness, where it empties into the Moray Firth. Several other watercourses drain into the Beauly Firth, including the Moniack and Redcastle Burns, and the Caledonian Canal. At low tide, the firth's north and west shores have extensive mudflats, as well as scattered boulders. The goosander is one of the firth's more common waterfowl. In 1982, the first bridge crossing the Beauly Firth was opened between North and South Kessock, known as the Kessock Bridge. As part of the A9 road, the bridge linked Inverness to the Black Isle for the first time. Prior to this, the Kessock Ferry crossed the firth at its eastern end since sometime in the 15th century. Today, the roads around the Beauly Firth provide a popular circuit for cyclists. However, the A862 (along the firth's southern shore) has grown increasingly busy, making the route difficult at peak times. Although there are no sandy beaches on the firth's coast, its pebbled shores are excellent for stone skipping, and popular amongst artists wanting to depict the sunset. The Beauly Firth is prone to flooding, affecting shoreline communities such as Bunchrew and Redcastle. This is a particular issue following heavy rainfall, such as in 2020's Storm Ciara. The Beauly Firth is also known as Poll an Ròid in Scottish Gaelic, meaning "Pool of the Cross". This name is mostly used on Scotland's west coast, and is a reference to a cross erected by the Collegiate Friars of Inverness on an islet in the firth. (en)
Der Beauly Firth ist eine Bucht am Kopf des Meerearmes Moray Firth in der schottischen Council Area Highland. Sie reicht etwa 11 km in Ost-West-Richtung ins Land hinein und weist dabei eine maximale Breite von etwa 3 km auf. An ihrem Kopf liegt die Stadt Beauly, während sich Inverness am Beginn der Bucht befindet. Bei Beauly mündet der River Beauly von Westen kommend in den Beauly Firth. Einen weiteren Zulauf bildet der Ness, der in Inverness einmündet. Auch der Kaledonische Kanal endet in Inverness im Beauly Firth. Die Halbinsel Black Isle bildet das Nordufer der Bucht. Dort befindet sich gegenüber von Inverness mit die einzige weitere bedeutende Ufersiedlung. Die zwischen 1976 und 1982 errichtete Kessock Bridge verbindet beide Orte miteinander. Sie führt mit der Fernstraße A9 einen der bedeutendsten Verkehrswege in den Highlands. Zuvor bestand an dieser Stelle eine Fährverbindung. * Blick vom Nordufer des Beauly Firth * Kessock Bridge (de)
