The name Sutherland is itself a compass bearing — it means the southern land, and it was given to this vast northern territory not by Scots looking north from Edinburgh but by Norse settlers looking south from Orkney, for whom the mainland territory beyond the Pentland Firth was simply the land that lay to the south of their island world.
