Kirkhill is a small village in the council area of Highland, Scotland, lying a short drive west of Inverness on the road towards Beauly. Set among rolling farmland and moorland, it commands pleasant views across the surrounding hills and towards the Beauly area; the name itself – kirk hill – reflects the traditional parish church that anchors the settlement.
Life in Kirkhill combines a strong local community and Gaelic roots with the practicalities of being a commuter village for Inverness, so you find a mixture of longstanding crofting and newer homes. Visitors and residents enjoy walking and fishing in the nearby rivers and hills, while the village’s modest historic and social landmarks – the kirk, a community hall and local memorials – point to a quiet but active rural culture.
