Lentran is a small hamlet on the south shore of the Beauly Firth, 3 km east of Kirkhill and 8 km west of Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland.
The area was served by Lentran railway station, on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, which opened in 1862. This station closed to passengers in 1960, and to goods in 1964.[1]
In the area is Lentran House, a Scottish Baronial style mansion built in 1866, now a Category B listed building.[2] It was the formerly home of the provost of Inverness, and later used as a nursing home. During the Second World War Lentran House was used as a camp for a Royal Air Force maintenance unit.[3] It has now been developed into apartments.
