Barbaraville

Barbaraville (Scottish Gaelic: An Cladach) is a small settlement on the north west shore of the Cromarty Firth in Highland, Scotland. Housing dates from 1820 onwards when local people were allowed to build on packets of land from local estates at Balnagown, Tarbet and Polnicol.

Consisting of about 170 households, there has been recent expansion with the creation of a retirement village at Mull Hall which, when completed, will add 50 households to the community, all of which will be occupied by people over the age of 55.

Mull Hall was originally the Jackdaw Hotel, and its restaurant and bar was a popular nightspot during the 1970s.

Barbaraville has a small shop, a telephone box, a post box and a bus stop for the 25 and 25X services running up the coast from Inverness as far as Dornoch.

The nearest small towns are Tain to the north east and Invergordon to the west.

Barbaraville is in the Highland Council area.
