Cannich

Cannich (Gaelic: Canaich) is a village at the southern end of Strathglass, in the Highlands of Scotland, about 26 miles (42 km) west of the city of Inverness. It is at the furthest point of the A831 that loops around the Aird from Beauly to Drumnadrochit. It is home to Strathglass Shinty Club, one of the oldest organised shinty clubs in the world. There is a camping and caravan park, a river-side chalet park, a well stocked village store and many B & B's or self catering accommodation options to choose from. There are many opportunities for hill mountain and glen walking in the local area, and for other outdoor activities, including fishing, cycling and canoeing. The surrounding area is very remote and unspoilt, and has limited facilities. Cannich is at the confluence of two rivers, the River Cannich and the River Affric, which combine on the east side of the village to become the River Glass.
