QE2 BEST PICTURES: LEAVING CROMARTY FIRTH























A very nice picture taken in 2005 as the QE2 was leaving the Cromarty Firth, Scotland, UK.

An inlet of the Moray Firth in Highland Council Area, the Cromarty Firth separates the mainland of Easter Ross from the Black Isle.

It extends 18 miles (30 km) west and southwest to Dingwall from its mouth between the headlands known as the Sutors of Cromarty.

Invergordon was an important naval harbour during two World Wars and sheltered deep-water facilities here have been used in the construction and repair of North Sea oil rigs.
