Inverchoran
Inverchoran (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Chòmhrainn) is a small remote hamlet, situated in the upper reaches of Strathconon.
Strathconon is certainly a ‘Glen For
All Seasons‘. The Grampian TV series of the same title provided an in
depth portrayal of life in this most scenic of highland glens. But
Strathconon is much more than that. The echoes of Scotland’s romantic
and turbulent past are locked firmly within it’s mountain walls. It is
also a glen of considerable scenic contrasts, from the wooded banks of
the River Conon in the east, to the bare heather laden mountains to the
west. This short summary will hopefully whet the appetite for a visit to
this special place.
Situated to the northwest of the Highland
Capital Inverness, Strathconon is one of a number of glens running from
west to east across the County of Ross-shire. Ironically, Strathconon is
for the most part occupied by the River Meig. This rises at the western
end of the glen, and rushes down towards the Cromarty Firth at Conon
Bridge. The Rivers Meig and Sheen eventually combine to form the River
Conon near Scatwell. The River Conon then meanders it’s way down towards
the sea, across a substantially larger flood plain.
