TIL there's a place called the Firth of Clyde

And on the east coast we have the Firth of Forth

And of course up in the north, the Moray Firth :-)

I wonder if there's anything referred to as "Firth" in a non-Scotland place, perhaps up in Canada or in NZ?

update: yes (in England, Germany, NZ and Antarctica)! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firth#English_firths

And a bit further north there is the Pentland Firth which, of course, is nowhere near the Pentlands!
