Tankerness
Tankerness is a district in the St Andrews parish in Mainland, Orkney, Scotland.〔Wenham, Shiela "The East Mainland" in Omand (2003) p. 198〕 Essentially a peninsula, it is about south-east of Kirkwall and east of Kirkwall Airport.〔("Get-a-Map" ) Ordnance Survey. Retrieved 15 July 2010.〕 The origin of the place name is uncertain, but it may derive from the Norse personal name "Tannskári". A "ness" is a promontory.〔(Place names ) Orkneyjar. Retrieved 14 July 2010.〕 ==Geography==
Tankerness is bounded to the north and west by Inganess Bay, to the east by Deer Sound, and to the south by the A960. Inganess Bay and Deer Sound meet at the prominent headland of Rerwick Head. Loch of Tankerness, which is just under in size, lies in the central area.〔 The landscape is more gentle than the hilly terrain to the west and is fertile farmland.〔 Bordering Inganess Bay is the Long Ayre, a kilometer-long gravel tombolo enclosing a tidal pool.
