The name is from the Gaelic tairbeart meaning "isthmus" and the Old Norse ness, meaning " headland ".It is located to the south of the entrance to the Dornoch Firth. The Tarbat Ness Lighthouse is located at the north west tip of the peninsula. It was built in 1830 by Robert Stevenson and has an elevation of 174 feet and and 203 steps to the top of the tower. At the Battle of Tarbat Ness in the 11th century, Thorfinn the Mighty defeated " Karl Hundason " possibly a Viking name for Macbeth. Further down the peninsula in the 1480s the Clan Ross slaughtered a raiding party from the Clan Mackay.
