The village lies on the A82 road, near a junction with the A831, adjoining the villages of Milton to the West and Lewiston to the South. The local hill-come-tourist attraction is called Craig Monie.〔http://www.craigmoniecentre.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=4530〕 Historically it was within the local government county of Inverness (until 1975) and the Inverness district of the Highland local government region (1975 to 1996).
