Keith Inch (originally Keith Insche, Keithinche or Caikinche)[1] is the easternmost point of mainland Scotland, having formerly been an island. It is located in Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, forming the north point of Peterhead Bay at 57°30′10″N 1°45′51″W. It is now joined to Greenhill, another former island.
It 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; the remains of a whale bone arch can be seen.
