Pentland Firth

  • The Pentland Firth is a 14 mile (22km) wide Strait in the North of Scotland, between the Caithness and the Orkney Islands.
  • It has some of the fastest Tidal Races in the world with speeds of up up to 16 mph (26 kph), making navigation by sailing vessels difficult. There are also two islands in the Firth, Stroma and Swona.
