This community is located on the Black Isle. It is a rural area. So, much of the area is dominated by agriculture. However, there are some small villages in the area including Mulbuie, Alcaig and Culbokie. Therefore, there are only approximately 2000 residents in the area.
As a result of its location it is a very beautiful area. For example one of the most spectacular view is across the firth to the Ben Wyvis massif and the county town of Dingwall. In addition there is the natural amphitheatre of the Burn of Ferintosh. During the 18th and 19th centuries this burn was the location of huge outdoor communion services. However, these ended in the late 1990s.
One of the most famous people from the area is Major General Sir Hector Macdonald. He was born in Mulbuie in the mid 19th century and became a war hero. In addition to a memorial in Mulbuie there is also a 100ft memorial in Dingwall.
