Glenconvinth, a glen in Kiltarlity and Convinth parish, Inverness-shire, traversed by Belladrum Burn, which, rising at an altitude of 780 feet above sea-level, winds 7 1/8 miles northward, till, after a descent of 758 feet, it falls into the river Beauly, just below Beaufort Castle, 4 miles SSW of Beauly town. Glenconvinth takes up a road from Strathglass to Glenurquhart and Loch Ness. It received its name from an ancient nunnery, traces of whose chapel may still be seen 2 ½ miles S of Kiltarlity church, and near which is Glenconvinth public school.—Ord. Sir., sh. 83, 1881.
