Cambuscurry, a hill and a bay in Eddertoun parish, Ross-shire, on the inner Dornoch Firth, above the Meikle Ferry, 7 miles WNW of Tain. The hill has an altitude of about 600 feet above sea-level. The bay was once entered by an invading Danish fleet, but now has a depth of only 6 feet at high water. The shore around it is sandy; seems evidently to have gained upon the sea; and possibly might be recovered for the plough by means of embanking.
