Armadale (Scottish Gaelic: Armadal, Scots: Airmadale)[1][failed verification][2] is a small village on the north coast of Scotland, in the council area of Highland.
There was a small fishing hamlet consisting of two or three houses north of the village before the year 1600 called Port Moir.
[3] William Honyman (whose mother, Margaret, was a daughter of John Mackay of Strathy) bought the estate from his grandfather about 1779 and built a new mansion at Armadale.
At the north end of Armadale there is a point called Reismeave, which is a good local fishing spot and great for seeing the coastal birds such as the oystercatcher, rock dove and the famous puffin.
There are the ruins of an old inn, in the centre of Armadale which was open in the early 19th century and was run by one Alexander Munro who was a boat builder and house carpenter and his wife Barbara Mackay.
Further down is the red bus shelter, which is no longer in service due to Highland Council erecting a new one at the A836 end of the village.
