Evanton is a small village in the Highland council area of Scotland, sitting on the north shore of the Cromarty Firth at the mouth of the River Sgitheach. It enjoys striking views of Ben Wyvis and easy access to both coastal and upland walking; the firth and shoreline attract a variety of birdlife and make the area popular for wildlife watching and outdoor pursuits.
Historically a rural service centre for surrounding farms and estates, Evanton today combines crofting and local trades with commuters who work in nearby towns such as Invergordon, Dingwall and Inverness. The village retains a strong community feel with a village hall, school and pubs, and its proximity to the Black Isle and the working ports around the firth gives it a mix of traditional Highland character and practical links to regional industry.
