Ardclach (Scottish Gaelic: Àird Chlach) is a small crofting hamlet, close to Glenferness[1] in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is historically part of Nairnshire.
Dating to at least 1655, and now a Category A listed building,[2] Ardclach Bell Tower is believed to be the only tower and belfry combination in Scotland.[3][4]
