Inverchoran

About trip

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.
