From The Gazetteer for Scotland

Strath Kanaird is a small valley in the Coigach district of Wester Ross also known as Strath Canaird. It is located 4 miles (6.5 km) north of Ullapool. The valley contains the hamlet of Strathcanaird and carries the River Kanaird from Loch a' Chroisg to Loch Kanaird, a sea-loch and inlet of Loch Broom.

It is the location of a small hydro-electric power scheme called Loch Dubh Power Station which was completed in 1948.
