- Sutherland is a registration county, lieutenancy area and historic administrative county of Scotland. It is now within the Highland local government area. The county town, and only burgh of the county, is Dornoch. Other settlements include Bonar Bridge, Lairg, Brora, Durness, Embo, Tongue, Golspie, Helmsdale, Lochinver, Scourie and Kinlochbervie. The population of the county as at the 2001 Census was 13,466. The administrative county became a local government area in 1890, and was abolished in 1975, when the Sutherland district was created as one of eight districts of the Highland local government region. The region was created at the same time as the district. The district was abolished in 1996, when the region became a unitary council area. The Sutherland name dates from the era of norse rule over much of the Highlands and Islands, especially in the north and west, which was perhaps at its zenith in the early 11th century, when Sigurd the Stout was jarl of Orkney. Suðrland was then land to the south of, or in the south of, Norse Caithness. As a Scottish county, however, Sutherland also includes land which is to the west of the county of Caithness. Sutherland,especially the great North-West corner of the County, traditionally known as Strathnaver, was the home,of the powerful and warlike Clan Mackay, and as such was named in Gaelic, Dùthaich 'Ic Aoidh, the Homeland of Mackay. Even today this part of the county is known as Mackay Country, and, unlike other areas of Scotland where the names traditionally associated with the area have become diluted, there is still a preponderance of Mackays in the Dùthaich. As well as Caithness to the north and east, Sutherland has North Sea coastline in the east, the historic county of Ross and Cromarty to the south, and Atlantic coastline in the west and north. The inland landscape is rugged and very little populated, being Scotland's 5th largest historic county, but with less population than a medium-size lowland Scottish town. It stretches from the Atlantic in the west, up to the Pentland Firth and across to the North Sea. The sea-coasts boast very high cliffs and deep ords in the east and north, ragged inlets on the west and sandy beaches in the north. As would be expected, much of the population is based in seaward towns, such as Helmsdale and Lochinver, which until very recently made much of their living from the rich fishing of the waters around the British Isles. The remote far north west point of the county, Cape Wrath is the most north westerly point in Scotland. Transport links are poor: the A9 road main east coast road is challenging north of Helmsdale, particularly at the notorious Berriedale Braes, there are few inland roads, the east coast Far North Line north-south single-track railway line and no airports. Much of the former county is poor relative to the rest of the Scotland with few job opportunities beyond government funded employment. Further education is provided by North Highland College, part of the University of the Highland and Islands. The Ross House Campus in Dornoch was the first establishment in the UK to provide a degree in Golf Management. The Burghfield House Campus, also in Dornoch, is an hotel school. Sutherland is perhaps best known for its saddest memory: The Highland Clearances: The forceful eviction of people from their homes in the 18th century by the landowners to make way for large sheep farms. Sutherland suffered more than most parts of the Highlands, scattering people far and wide across the globe. The clearances also saw many forced to move from their inland homes to live along the coast scraping a life as fisherfolk. It was the villages produced by this policy that formed the last Gaelic speaking communities to be found on the east coast of Scotland, as discovered by Nancy Dorian in the early 1960s, and there are still some native speakers of the East Sutherland dialect of Gaelic in this area.
- Sutherland (auch Sutherlandshire, gälisch Cataibh) ist eine traditionelle Grafschaft in den Highlands von Schottland, angrenzend an die Grafschaften Caithness, Ross-shire und Cromartyshire. Der Name Sutherland ist auf die Wikinger zurückzuführen - aus deren Blickwinkel handelte es sich bei der nordwestlichen Ecke der britischen Insel um das "Sudrland", das südliche Land. Die Grafschaft umfasst eine Fläche von 5.252 km² und ist sehr dünn besiedelt. Sie besitzt keine einzige Stadt und hat europaweit die geringste Bevölkerungsdichte, was unter anderem auf die Highland Clearances zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts zurückzuführen ist. Verschiedene Orte und Plätze in Sutherland, wie Bettyhill, sind dem Andenken an diese zum Teil innerhalb kürzester Zeit gewaltsam durchgeführten Umsiedlung gewidmet. Zur Grafschaft gehören die Orte Dornoch (Hauptort der Grafschaft), Brora, Durness, Tongue, Golspie, Helmsdale, Lochinver und Kinlochbervie. 1975 wurde Sutherland ein Teil der Verwaltungsregion Highland, seit 1996 ist es Teil des Highland Unitary Council. Ähnlich wie Caithness ist Sutherland reich an Bodendenkmälern, vor allem Hügelgräbern. An hervorragenden Stellen nahe der Küste und an Flussläufen, auf Graten oder niedrigen Hügeln erbaut, sind sie deutlich sichtbar. Sie scheinen über eine sehr langen Periode benutzt worden zu sein, einige über 1500 oder mehr Jahre. Das Gebiet hat drei Küstenlinien - nördlich, östlich und westlich. Hier gibt es beeindruckende Landschaften mit hohen Klippen und schönen Sandstränden. Im Hinterland findet man baumlose Berge und Moorlandschaften.

- サザランド（英語：Sutherland、スコットランド・ゲール語：Cataibh）はスコットランドのハイランド北部の地方であり、ハイランド議会コミッティ・エリア（郡）のひとつである。郡の中心都市はドーノホである。 1890年から1975年にかけて、地方自治はサザランド郡議会によって運営されていた。また、イングランドとの合同以来、選挙区のひとつでもあった。サザランドとケイスネスの厳密な境界線は最近まで定まっていなかったが、1975年の再編によりハイランドに組み込まれ、地方議会もハイランドに統一された。2007年には再度の境界線改定が行われることになっている。 ドーノック以外は人口はまばらで、郡全体でも2001年現在、14,000人に満たない。ハイランド全体で少子高齢化が進んでいるが、サザランドはそれに加えて過疎化が進行しており、2017年には65歳以上人口が49%を占めると試算されている。
