This article is about the Scottish county of Sutherland. See also Sutherland, Sydney


Sutherland (also Sutherlandshire) was a traditional county in the north of Scotland, bordering on Caithness to the north and both Ross-shire and Cromartyshire to the south. The area is today used as a registration county and is part of the Highland Region.

The county is still very sparsely populated. Its only burgh is the county town, Dornoch. Other settlements include Durness, Helmsdale, Lochinver and Kinlochbervie.
