Cannich (Gaelic: ''Canaich'') is a village at the southern end of Strathglass, in the Highlands of Scotland, about west of the city of Inverness. It is at the furthest point of the A831 that loops around the Aird from Beauly to Drumnadrochit. It is home to Strathglass Shinty Club, considered to be the oldest organised shinty club in the world. There is a camping and caravan park with a public-access cafe onsite, a river-side chalet park, a grocery and general supplies store and a public house. There are many opportunities for hill mountain and glen walking in the local area, and for other outdoor activities, including cycling and canoeing. The surrounding area is very remote and unspoilt, and has limited facilities. Cannich is at the confluence of two rivers, the River Cannich and the River Affric, which combine on the east side of the village to become the River Glass. In the late 1940s a massive hydro-electric dam project saw thousands of people employed in the area, with temporary accommodation centred in the village. One Nissen hut still survives on the edge of the shinty club site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cannich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
