Shinty

Shinty, one of the oldest games in the world is played on most Saturday afternoons, throughout the summer months. Cannich is home to Strathglass Shinty Club, the oldest club in the Scotland. The rules of the modern game were introduced in 1880 at the Glen Affric Hotel by Captain Archibald Chisholm, who went on to become the first chairman of the Camanachd Association. This led to the first match in modern Shinty history between Strathglass and Glen Urquhart being played at Inverness. Strathglass are currently enjoying a successful period in their history with a wide membership base starting from the youngest in our community.
