Tigh Talamhanta is an aisled house located at Allasdale in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The structure represents a form of Iron Age or early medieval domestic architecture characterised by internal wooden posts supporting the roof, creating side aisles flanking a central space. The site has been identified and recorded within the Highlands and Islands archaeological record as an example of this distinctive building type, though detailed excavation findings and precise dating remain limited in the accessible scholarly literature.
