Keith Inch
"Not to be confused with "Inchkeith", in the Firth of Forth"
Keith Inch is the easternmost point of mainland Scotland.
It is located in Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, forming the north point of Peterhead Bay at coord|57|30|10|N|1|45|51|W|.
Formerly an island, it now forms part of Peterhead Harbour. "Inch" is a common Scottish word for an island, e.g. Inchcolm, Inchkenneth, and "na h-Innse Gall" (Hebrides) and derives from the Scottish Gaelic, "innis".
It was used in the whaling industry, and boil yards were here. [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/176530]
