Inverfarigaig
Inverfarigaig is a hamlet at the mouth of the River Farigaig, on the south-east shore of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.Geography
The hamlet is situated on the B852, part of the Military Road built by General George Wade, northeast of Fort Augustus. The village of Foyers is located to the southwest and the village of Dores to the northeast. The villages of Bunloit and Balbeg are directly across Loch Ness, and the village of Drumnadrochit is close to them. The prominent peak of Meall Fuar-mhonaidh is also visible across the loch.Above Inverfarigaig is the Iron Age fort of Dun Deardail, at an elevation of above sea level; it is associated with the legend of Deirdre of the Sorrows. Deirdre and the three sons of Usnach were meant to have lived near the fort for some of the time they stayed in Scotland. The fort was built by the Celts some time around 700 BCE and has been found to be partly vitrified.On 29 May 1944, a Fleet Air Arm Stinson Reliant, serial FK943, flying out of RAF Skeabrae in Orkney, returning to base at HMS Monck at Port Glasgow, crashed east of Inverfarigaig after clipping a tree whilst trying to remain under a low cloudbase, killing all three officers on board. Lieutenant Commanders Oliver Cairns and Norman O'Neil MC, and Commander Robert Ellis were all subsequently buried at the Tomnahurich Cemetery in Inverness.
