The parish

Kilmonivaig is a parish located in Highland Council Area, some 13 miles (20 km) northeast of Fort William and 15 miles (25 km) southwest of Fort Augustus and includes a small offshore island. It stretches west and southeast from the Great Glen--the valley that continues southwest from the end of Loch Ness. It contains a hamlet named Laggan, but there is another settlement of the same name in the parish of Laggan, located immediately to the east.

Prior to 1975 the parish was located in the old county of Inverness-shire, which was replaced by the Highland Region and in 1996 by the unitary authority named the Highland Council Area.

The parish has an area of 1120 sq. km (432.4 sq. miles). In addition to the village of Kilmonivaig, the parish includes the villages of Spean Bridge and Invergarry and the smaller settlements of Achluachrach, Bohenie, Bohuntine, Brackletter, Corrour, Inchlaggan, Laggan, Leckroy, Letterfinlay, Mandally, Murlaggan, Roybridge, Stronenaba, and Tulloch Station.
