Old photograph of the Coaching Inn in Strathy, Sutherland, Scotland. Strathy, from Scottish Gaelic Srathaidh, meaning place of the strath, is a scattered community in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands on the A836 road some twenty miles west of Thurso. The village itself includes at least three distinct areas: Strathy East, on the right hand side when passing through the village in the direction of Bettyhill, accessed by two roads leading towards Strathy Beach, Strathy West, immediately to the south of Strathy East and Strathy Point. These generally enclose the rest of the village, mainly comprising Steven Terrace. If welcoming signposts are taken to represent the limits of the village, Strathy is contained in these areas. However, some would say that Strathy also takes in the settlement of Baligill to the east, and also Brawl, Aultiphurst and Laidnagullin to the west, essentially the entire community found between the Baligill Burn and the Armadale Big Burn.
