Beauly and Strathglass
Beauly is a pretty village at the head of the Beauly Firth, west of Inverness. Strathglass is a fine valley that stretches south-west from Beauly towards Glen Affric.
The sleepy stone-built village of Beauly lies ten miles west of Inverness, at the point where the Beauly River - one of Scotland's most renowned salmon-fishing streams - flows into the Beauly Firth.
Beauly is set around a single main street that widens into a spacious marketplace, at the north end of which stands the skeletal red sandstone remains of Beauly Priory. Founded in 1230 by the Bisset family for the Valliscaulian order, and later becoming Cistercian, it was destroyed during the Reformation and is now in ruins.
Beauly Firth is a seven-mile long inlet off the Moray Firth, bordered by the Black Isle on its north side, and The Aird to its south.
