From the Wikipedia article
A' Mhòine (Scottish Gaelic: [ә.ˈvɔːɲә]), variously anglicised as the Moine, the Moin, or the Mhoine, is a peninsula in the north of Sutherland in the Highlands, Scotland. The peninsula is bounded to the west by Loch Eriboll, and to the east by the Kyle of Tongue. The A838 road crosses the peninsula on an east–west axis. The coastline includes cliffs, waterfalls, and a few sandy beaches. Much of the peninsula is owned by Melness Estate on behalf of 59 crofters. Most of the population live in Melness, which is made up of several crofting townships and hamlets including Talmine and Midfield. The name is from the Scottish Gaelic mòine, meaning "moss" or "peat". The Moinian geological group and the Moine Thrust Belt were in turn named after the peninsula.
