Dance Information
The Black Isle is an eastern area of the Highland local government council area of Scotland, within the county of Ross and Cromarty.Despite its name, the Black Isle is not an island, but a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water - the Cromarty Firth to the north, the Beauly Firth to the south, and the Moray Firth to the east. On its fourth, western side, its boundary is delineated by rivers.
The Black Isle
The Black Sea is an inland sea bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas and various straits.
