Cannich

Local nameCannich
LocationGreat Britain, UK

Cannich is a village at the southern end of Strathglass, in the Highlands of Scotland, about 26 miles 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, one of the oldest organised shinty clubs in the world.

The game of shinty and the Strathglass club owe much to Captain Chisholm. He chaired a meeting in the Glen Affric Hotel, Cannich, on 27 January 1880, at which he was elected the first Chief. Duncan Chisholm, Raonabhraid, was voted in as secretary and treasurer, and 10 Chieftains representing each of the districts in the Strath were also elected.
