Farout Head or Fair-aird, a promontory in Durness parish, N Sutherland, projecting 2¼ miles north-north-westward, between Balnakiel or Baile na Cille Bay on the W and the entrance to Loch Eriboll on the E, till it terminates in a point 8½ miles ESE of Cape Wrath. Its sides rise in rocky cliffs to a height of 329 feet above sea-level, and present a sublime appearance; its summit commands a magnificent view from Cape Wrath to Whiten Head.—Ord.
