Inveralligin (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Àiliginn) is a remote crofting township which lies on the north shore of Loch Torridon in Wester Ross[1] and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. Inbhir Àiliginn means "at the mouth of the River Alligin".
Torridon lies to the east and Lower Diabaig about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the west. Alligin Shuas lies immediately to the west. This name is also of Gaelic origin: alligin may be from àilleag meaning "jewel" and shuas means "western" or "upper".[2]
