Strath Rory

Strath Rory is a little valley in Easter Ross, carved by the Strathrory River, which later becomes the Balnagown River, which enters the Cromarty Firth over the Sands of Nigg.

The strath is a small, narrow glen between the modest, afforested hills of Easter Ross. In its lower stretches are some ancient remains, including, above the north bank of the river, the earthworks of a Bronze Age hill fort known as Cnoc an Duin.[1][2]
