Muirtown (Gaelic: Baile an Fhraoich) is an area in the west end of the city of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. It contains the Muirtown basin and Muirtown Primary School. An expansion of the Caledonian Canal close to its northeastern termination, the Muirtown Basin lies between Clachnaharry and Muirtown a mile (1.5 km) northwest of Inverness city centre. Planned in the early 19th century as a second harbour for the city by the canal's engineer Thomas Telford (1757–1834), it could not cope with the size of ships which were soon in use and thus never fulfilled its potential. It now serves as a marina. Immediately to the south of the basin are the Muirtown Locks, a flight of four locks on the Caledonian Canal at Muirtown, a mile (1.5 km) west northwest of Inverness city centre. The Muirtown Swing Bridge crosses the canal immediately to the north. In popular culture In the John Buchan novel Mr Standfast, Muirtown is the scene of an episode in the adventures of Richard Hannay as he seeks to avoid the Scottish police while simultaneously hunting a spy.

It is situated in the city's north-west, on the west bank of the Caledonian Canal, and is often considered a suburb to the city. For most of the city's history, Scorguie was a large tract of farmland tied to an area known as "Knockgurr". Throughout the 19th century it was owned by the Duffs of Muirtown, along with a small portion of nearby Merkinch. The farm appears in a court report from 1857, in which it states crofters renting the land were to pay "£90 a year" (roughly £9,200 today).After centuries of existence as pastureland, housing projects in Scorguie began sometime after the Second World War. As of 2018, the population is close to 3,000, with roughly 1,500 individual dwellings.

Clachnaharry railway station served the village of Clachnaharry, Highland, Scotland from 1868 to 1913 on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway.

The Battle of Clachnaharry was a Scottish clan battle that took place in the year 1454. It was fought between the Clan Munro and the Clan Mackintosh (Chattan Confederation) on the south bank of the Beauly Firth at Clachnaharry, on the outskirts of Inverness.

Clachnaharry (; Scottish Gaelic: Clach na h-Aithrigh) is a former fishing village, now part of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. Clachnaharry is situated on the south shore of the Beauly Firth, about 2 miles (3 km) west of the city centre. The village was often wrongly said to have derived its name from the Gaelic Clach na Faire, 'watchman's stone' which refers to nearby rocks used as a look out post by the townsfolk of Inverness. The recent book "The Gaelic Place Names and Heritage of Inverness" by Roddy Maclean, however, has pointed out the name in fact derives from Clach na h-Aithrigh, Stone of Repentance. The Caledonian Canal begins at Clachnaharry, connecting to the Beauly Firth via a sea lock. The Far North Line also passes through, crossing the canal on a swing bridge. Clachnaharry used to have a railway station. This station opened in 1869 on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, and was the first stop after leaving Inverness, but closed in 1913. A monument here commemorates the Battle of Clachnaharry between the Clan Munro and the Clan Chattan in 1454.

Dalneigh (; Scottish Gaelic: Dail an Eich) is an area in the city of Inverness in Scotland. Located in the west of the city, it lies between the River Ness and the Caledonian Canal. The name is derived from the Gaelic word Dail an Eich, meaning 'Field of the horse'. As hinted by the name, it was originally a farm, but following the end of the Second World War, it was turned into a residential area to provide housing for the expected increase in demand. Over the following fifty years, successive waves of development saw Dalneigh transformed from farmland into home for thousands of people. In 1937, Inverness High School was opened in the east of Dalneigh and is still the main secondary school for the area's children; the school roll has declined from over one thousand in the 1950s to just under half that today. Dalneigh Primary School is one of Inverness High's feeder primaries and is situated in central Dalneigh. Prior to their merger with Inverness Thistle F.C. in 1994, Caledonian F.C. played at Telford Street Park in the north of Dalneigh, and drew a lot of their support from the area. Politically, Dalneigh is part of the Highland Council ward of Inverness Central. For elections to the Scottish Parliament, Dalneigh is part of the Inverness and Nairn constituency, and is part of the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency for elections to the UK Parliament.
