It is bounded on the south-east and east by the Murray frith and the German ocean; on the north from Duncansby-head ... to Holburn-head, by the Pentland frith, dividing it from the Southern isles of Orkney, an dcontaining the island of Stroma which forms a portion of the shire; and westwards from Holburn-head it is bounded by the North sea.
