Clachnaharry

Clachnaharry (/ˌklæxnəˈhæri/; Scottish Gaelic: Clach na h-Aithrigh) is a former fishing village, now part of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland.

Clachnaharry is situated on the south shore of the Beauly Firth, about 2 miles (3 km) west of the city centre.

The village was often wrongly said to have derived its name from the Gaelic Clach na Faire, 'watchman's stone' which refers to nearby rocks used as a look out post by the townsfolk of Inverness.

The recent book "The Gaelic Place Names and Heritage of Inverness" by Roddy Maclean, however, has pointed out the name in fact derives from Clach na h-Aithrigh, Stone of Repentance.
