The Aird (from the Scottish Gaelic: An Àird meaning "The High Place") is an area of the County of Inverness, to the west of the City of Inverness. It is situated to the south of the River Beauly and the Beauly Firth, and to the north of Glenurquhart and the northern end of Loch Ness. Villages within the Aird include Kirkhill, Kiltarlity, Lentran and Inchmore. It is the traditional heart of the Clan Fraser of Lovat's territory, containing their family seat of Beaufort Castle. The first known Lord of the Aird, however, was Iain Mac Eoin Nan Gleann or "John Bisset of the Glens" in English. The area gives its name to a Highland Council ward - "Aird and Loch Ness".
