Barbaraville (Scottish Gaelic:An Cladach) is a small settlement on the north shore ofNigg Bay[1] in theCromarty Firth in theHighland council area ofScotland.[2] Housing dates from 1820 on when local people were allowed to build on packets of land from local estates atBalnagown,Tarbet and Polnicol. Comprising approximately 170 households, there has been recent expansion with the creation of a retirement village at Highland Park which has added some 50 households to the community all of which are occupied by people over the age of 55.[3]

Barbaraville has a small shop at Highland Park, a telephone kiosk and post box, and has stops on the X25 Inverness - Dornoch bus route. The Green Wellie garden centre opened in 2012[5]
