And a bit further north there is the Pentland Firth which, of course, is nowhere near the Pentlands!

From wikipedia:

The name is presumed to be a corruption of the Old Norse "Petlandsfjörð",[1] meaning "the fjord of Pictland", and is completely unrelated to the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh.

That's a totally legit Firth, IMO
