Inverernie
Encyclopedia
Inverernie is a small settlement, which also boasts a local shop, within Farr
and the wider area of Strathnairn

The spelling of Inverernie accidentally changed to 'Inverarnie' in the latter half of the 20th century, and has remained so ever since. There is also a small croft named 'Inverarnie' which is found half a mile south of Inverernie, below the hill Meall Mòr, and is another variation of the Gaelic name 'Inbhir Fhearna'. Although both derive from the same Gaelic name, natives have always made a distinction between the two pronunciations.
