About Strathnaver
Submitted by Owen McCafferty on Thu, 2009-11-26Strathnaver could not really be regarded a settlement or village. It is rather the stretch of land between Bettyhill following the River Naver south to where it joins Loch Naver just before Altnaharra.
Houses are scattered along the banks of the river beside which the main road also winds passing through the tiny village of Syre on its way.
Most of Strathnaver’s population will come under the figure for the area of Altnaharra although the people inhabiting the northern part of Strathnaver may come under Bettyhill’s population.
Donald Macleod, who wrote the book "Gloomy Memories" witnessed the Highland clearances in 1814.
