Ardgour
Ardgour (
Scottish Gaelic:
Ard Ghobhar, meaning
Height of the goats) is a village on the western shore of
Loch Linnhe, on the
Ardnamurchan peninisula,
Lochaber,
Highland,
Scotland.
The village of Ardgour comprises the three distinct settlements of
North Corran,
Clovullin and
Sallachan.
The term Ardgour is also applied to a large area of countryside around the village, from the
Glensanda Superquarry,
Kingairloch and
Kilmalieu in the south (bordering
Morvern and
Sunart districts), up to
Conaglen,
Treslaig,
Camasnagaul,
Achaphubuil and
Blaich in the north (bordering
Glenfinnan).
Ardgour has formed part of the territory of the
Clan MacLean ever since the MacMasters were removed from the territory in the 15th Century. The current
Laird of Ardgour is a MacLean by adoption. He is the nephew of the last Maclean of Ardgour - a Lady Laird - having changed his name by legal action.
