Nairnshire
From
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
County of Nairn (
Siorrachd Inbhir Narann in Gaelic) is one of the registration counties of Scotland, centred around Nairn. It has a northern coastline onto the Moray Firth. It was also in use as a county of Scotland for general administrative purposes until 1975, and was then sometimes referred to as
Nairnshire.
Nairnshire had a number of exclaves, the most considerable of which was situated some distance away from the former county in Inverness-shire. Another sizable portion existed in Ross-shire, on the Black Isle, around the village of Urquhart. Other, smaller detached parts also existed in Morayshire (not shown on map due to their small size).
With the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 these detached parts became part of their host territorities. Nairnshire County Council existed between 1889 and 1975, after which time the area became part of the Highland Region, now the Highland council area.
