Ardgour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, together with Kingairloch, is applied to a large area of countryside around the village, from the Glensanda Superquarry, Kingairloch and Kilmalieu in the south and west (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, Robin Maclean, is a MacLean by adoption. He is the nephew of the last hereditory Maclean of Ardgour - a Lady Laird - having changed his name by legal action.
