Croick is a small, inland crofting village on the north bank of the Black Water which feeds into the River Carron just below the village, in Strathcarron. Forsinard, in north-eastern Ross-shire.
The church in the village was designed by Thomas Telford and built in 1827.[1] In 1845 families evicted from the Glencalvie estate as part of the Highland Clearances camped in the churchyard.[2]
