Old photograph of a fishing boat in the Cromarty Firth, Scotland. This is an arm of the North Sea in Scotland.

At its head the Firth receives its principal river, the River Conon, other rivers include the Allt Graad, Peffery, Sgitheach, Averon and Balnagown. The Dingwall Canal remains connected to the Firth, although it is now disused. The principal settlements on its shores are Dingwall near the head, Cromarty near the mouth, from which the Firth takes its name, and Invergordon on the north shore. The villages of Evanton, Alness and Culbokie are nearby. There is one bridge, the A9 road crossing between Ardullie and Findon. In the past there were several ferries across the firth, for example at Foulis, but now there is only one, a four car ferry that runs between Cromarty and Nigg during the summer.
