In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Littleferry like this:
Ferry, Little, a ferry (1 furlong broad) on the mutual boundary of Dornoch and Golspie parishes, Sutherland, across the neck of water between Loch Fleet and the sea, 4¼ miles N by E of Dornoch town. An action was fought on the N side of it, in 1746, between the Jacobites and the militia.
Littleferry is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Littleferry itself, go to Statistics.
