Overview

History & significance

Foshigarry is a settlement in Inverness-shire, Scotland, which represents a rural settlement of medieval or early modern date. The site is recorded in the national heritage designation system but remains relatively undocumented in published scholarly sources, limiting precise characterisation of its historical significance and physical form. Its inclusion in the Hebridean settlement record indicates occupation of the landscape in the post-medieval period when settlement patterns across the Highlands and Islands underwent substantial reorganisation. Further archaeological investigation would be required to establish the site's specific chronology, construction phases, and economic function within the wider settlement geography of Inverness-shire.
