===Firths in the Northern Isles=== [[Image:Saviskaill cliffs.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Cliffs in Saviskaill Bay on [[Rousay]], looking northward to [[Westray]] across Westray Firth]] The Northern Isles were part of Norway until the 15th century, and retain many Norse names. In Shetland in particular, "firth" can refer to smaller inlets, although '''geo''', '''voe''' and '''wick''' are as common. In Orkney, "wick" is common. * [[Orkney Islands]] ** Bay of Firth ([[Firth, Orkney]]) ** [[North Ronaldsay]] Firth ** [[Stronsay]] Firth ** [[Westray]] Firth ** Wide Firth * [[Shetland Islands]] (Mainland) ** Lax Firth ([[Laxfirth]]) & Cat Firth near [[Nesting, Shetland|Nesting]] & [[Whiteness, Shetland|Whiteness]] ** Collafirth/Colla Firth (two places of this name) ** Firths Voe, [[Firth, Shetland|Firth]] ** Gon Firth ** Olna Firth ** Olnes Firth ** Quey Firth ** Unie Firth ** Ura Firth ** Burra Firth/Burrafirth (a number of Shetland places with this name) ** Effirth * Shetland [[North Isles]]: [[Yell, Shetland|Yell]], [[Unst]] ** Whale Firth ** Burrafirth
