About Melvaig
Melvaig is a village. Location: Highland, Scotland. Elevation: 54 m.
Melvaig is a crofting township on the coast of western Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. The houses are largely on a raised shoreline in Wester Ross and are scattered on the crofts into which the land was divided in 1846. While, in the past, the houses were closely linked to the associated crofts and the activities of crofting, nowadays many are detached from the crofts.
