Farigaig, a troutful stream of the Nairnshire portion of Daviot parish, and of Dores parish, NE Inverness-shire. It is formed, 840 feet above sea-level, and 1 mile NE of Dunmaglass Lodge, by the confluence of two head-streams, the longer of which, the Allt Uisg an tSithein, rises at an altitude of 2500 feet, and runs 6¾ miles north-by-westward. From their point of confluence the Farigaig winds 8¼ miles north-north-westward and south-westward, till it falls into Loch Ness at Inverfarigaig, 2¼ miles NNE of Foyers. It receives a rivulet running ¾ mile west-by-southward from Loch Ruthven (2¼ miles x 4¹/3 furl.; 700 feet), and it traverses a deep and finely wooded defile.—Ord. Sur., sh. 73,
