From the Wikipedia article
Glen Cannich (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Chanaich) is a long glen and strath in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland and through which runs the River Cannich. Once densely populated before being largely emptied by both voluntary emigration and the Highland Clearances following the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Glen, which was formerly the property of Clan Chisholm, has played a role in the history of the Catholic Church in Scotland.
