The Kyle of Sutherland ({{lang-gd|An Caol Catach}}) is a river estuary that separates Sutherland from Ross-shire. It flows into the Dornoch Firth and is fed by the rivers Oykel, Shin, River Cassley and Carron.

The downstream extent[1] of the Kyle of Sutherland is the eponymous bridge at Bonar Bridge. The upstream end of 'the Kyle' as it is locally known, is the furthest inland extent of tidal water,[2] which corresponds to 'the bailey bridge', beyond Rosehall.

The Kyle did separate Sutherland and Ross-shire for centuries until 1975[3][4][5] when the old Scottish counties were abolished. The counties of Sutherland and Ross became districts of the Highland Region, with altered boundaries. As a result of this, the Kyle became wholly part of Sutherland, though most locals continue to refer to the original boundaries.

1892 flooding

{{Infobox flood
| name = 1892 Flooding
| date = {{Start date and age|1892|01|29}}
| location = Bonar Bridge
}}

The first Bonar Bridge was built in 1812 after the Battle of Culloden it was engineered by Thomas Telford. 80 years later the Bridge was swept away by a flood on 29 January 1892, a winter of many great floods in the North of Scotland. Apparently this event occurred as predicted by the Brahan Seer.
