Sutherland (Scottish Gaelic: Cataibh) is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area in the Highlands of Scotland. The name dates from the Viking era when the area was ruled by the Jarl of Orkney; although Sutherland includes some of the northernmost land on the island of Great Britain, it was called Suðrland ("southern land") from the standpoint of Orkney and Caithness.
The area of the shire was that of the Diocese of Caithness and the sheriff was to sit at Dornoch or Wick. [18] [20] Caithness was restored to being a shire in 1641, but covering just the smaller area of the earldom of Caithness; other parts of the diocese had since been included in the shire of Sutherland created in 1633.

Caithness was restored to being a shire in 1641. [23] The shire of Caithness created in 1641 just covered the earldom of Caithness; Sutherland had been made its own shire in 1633.
