Elphin (Gaelic; Scottish Gaelic: Ailbhinn, which possibly derives from a combination of Norse and Gaelic fjell, "cliff" or "rock", and fionn, "bright") is a crofting township in Assynt, in the Sutherland area of Highland in Scotland.[1] It lies about 15round=5NaNround=5 north of Ullapool. The village contains a telephone box, a post box, a tearoom, a Scottish Mountaineering Club Hut, Grampian Speleological Group Hut, a small caravan site and many self-catering options. Assynt Primary School closed in 2001, and the building is now a community hall operated by Elphin Ledmore and Knockan Community Association Limited. The township now has its own website, see external links.
Knockan Crag is about 2miles south of Elphin and Loch Veyatie is about NaNmiles northwest.
