Aberarder

Aberarder is a small, rural community located in the Highland council area of Scotland. It sits near the southern end of Loch Ness, approximately 5 miles southwest of the village of Dores. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, moorland, and woodland.

Aberarder is primarily a residential and agricultural area. There are a small number of scattered houses and farms. Tourism plays a limited role in the local economy, largely driven by visitors drawn to Loch Ness and the surrounding natural beauty.

Historically, the area was part of the lands of Clan Fraser. The name "Aberarder" is of Gaelic origin, possibly deriving from "Aber Àrdair," which may refer to the mouth of the River Arder.

Amenities are limited within Aberarder itself. Residents typically travel to nearby villages like Dores or Inverness for shopping, services, and employment. The area is accessible by minor roads. Public transportation options are relatively limited, reflecting the rural nature of the area.
