Tarbat Ness Tarbat Ness (Scottish Gaelic: ''Rubha Thairbeirt'') is headland that lies at the end of the Tarbat peninsula in Easter Ross, Scotland. The name is from the Gaelic ''tairbeart'' meaning "isthmus" and the Old Norse ''ness'', meaning "headland".〔Mac an Tailier (2003) p. 111〕 It lies at the south of the entrance to the Dornoch Firth. ==Geology and geomorphology== The Upper Old Red Sandstone Devonian period bedrock contains fish fossils. There are examples of a range of pitting, saltspray and honeycomb erosion and "some of the best examples of differential erosion processes on tilted sandstone strata in Scotland".〔(Tarbat Ness ). UK Fossils. Retrieved 27 January 2014.〕〔Hansom, J.D ("Tarbat Ness" ). JNCC/''Geological Conservation Review''. Volume 28: Coastal Geomorphology of Great Britain. Chapter 3: Hard-rock cliffs. Retrieved 27 January 2014.〕 The height of the headland reaches 17m above sea level in the south and east and 10m in the north and west. The raised beaches provide evidence of the post-glacial changes in sea level. Water depths offshore reach 10m at 300m offshore and 20m at circa offshore.〔
