Urray () is a scattered village and coastal parish, consisting of Easter, Old and Wester Urray and is located in the county of Ross in the Scottish council area of the Highland. Urray is also a parish in the district of Wester Ross and Cromarty. It comprises the parishes of Carnoch and Kinlochlychart, with the ancient parish of Kilchrist. Urray is located 2 miles northwest of Muir of Ord and 1.5 miles east of Marybank. The closest town is Dingwall to the north-east. The ruined Fairburn Tower was a castle of the Clan Mackenzie. Churches A church dedicated to St Constantine existed since medieval times and was under the control of Fortrose Cathedral. As with many Highland parishes Urray gravitated to the Free Church of Scotland after the Disruption of 1843. These links provided three Moderators of the General Assembly for the Free Church (see below). The Church of Scotland parish churchyard remains the main place of burial for the parish. The Free Church serves the wider parish of Muir of Ord.
