Tour Scotland photograph of Durness Beach, Sutherland, Scotland. A remote township in the northwestern Highlands of Scotland, lying on the Kyle of Durness. A former seat of the Clan Mackay, with a large contingent of the Clan Morrison in the area as well. According to tradition, Ay Mac Hormaid (Aodh Mac Thormoid) married a daughter (or sister) of the Bishop of Caithness, who bestowed on the couple the whole of Durness, with Ashir. Aodh then brought over a colony of about 60 families, mostly of his clan.
