What to see in Thurso
Thurs (/ ˈθɜːrsoʊ/ in Scottish: Thursa, in Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Theòrsa [ˈiɲɪɾʲ ˈhjɔːrˠs̪ə]) is a town on the north coast of the Highland Unitary Council in Scotland, United Kingdom. Historically, Thursus is one of the two Scottish municipalities in Caithness County, along with Wick. It is located at the north-south crossing of the A9 and west-east road of the A836 road, connected to the Forss bridge to the west and with Castletown to the east.
Originally Thursus was known by the Celtic name of Trvodub, which means "Toro Agua" or "Toro River" in the same way Dunnet Head was Tardunum that means "strong of the bull" and the name of the city can have its roots there. The influence of the Nordic altered his name by Thjorsá, then Thorsá, derived from the deity Thor and translating himself as "the place in the Thor River."
The local Germanic name, Thursa, derives from the Nordic, as well as the modern Scottish gaelic inbhir Theòrsa. Inbhir means river mouth, and is generally inverted in many Anglified names.
