Conon Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Sguideil) is a small village in the Highland Council Area in Scotland. The current Gaelic name is likely a neologism: the bridge was not built until the early 19th century and some early gravestones show the name sgudal or scuddle. One suggested source is the Old Norse sku dal, valley of the fine views. Situated near the market town of Dingwall, on the southern bank of the River Conon, in Ross-shire, it is at the western end of the Cromarty Firth. The village of Maryburgh is on the other side of the river in the parish of Fodderty. For further information of a genealogical nature, see the parish of Urquhart and Logie-Wester. |
