Ruthven is a depopulated township situated approximately 600 metres south of Ruthven in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The settlement represents a deserted medieval village, typical of the highland townships that were progressively abandoned or cleared during the early modern period. Physical remains at the site include traces of former habitation structures and associated field systems characteristic of medieval Scottish settlement patterns. The township's depopulation reflects broader processes of landscape change in the Highlands, though the precise dating and circumstances of its abandonment remain within the general timeframe of late medieval to early modern clearance.
