Achanalt (Gaelic: Achadh nan Allt) is a railway halt in Strath Bran, Ross and Cromarty, in the Scottish council area of Highland.
[6][7] The steeply sloping Cnoc na Bhain burial ground, one of Scotland's most beautiful graveyards, contains a memorial and grave of the pioneer aviator, Captain Bertram Dickson.
The dominant local geographical feature is Loch Achanalt, roughly quadrangular, with a maximum diameter of approximately 0.75 mi (1.21 km).
[12] The Achanalt reservoir[13] and marshes were designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest on 18 May 1989 as the area is an important nesting ground.
[14] The open water and grassland areas of Achanalt marshes support an array of nesting birds.
Waders include common sandpiper, curlew, dunlin, lapwing, oystercatcher, redshank, ringed plover, and snipe.
