Edderton (Template:Langx) is a village near Tain, lying on the shores of the Dornoch Firth, Easter Ross and is in the Highland council area of Scotland.[1][2] It has approximately 388 inhabitants. It is the location of the Balblair Distillery, and of the Edderton Cross Slab, a Class III Pictish stone, which lies in the old churchyard of the village. A quarter of a mile outside the town lies another stone, the Clach Biorach, a Class I Pictish stone.

The former Ardmore House was a home of the chiefs of clan Ross.[3]

Balblair distillery off Station Road, Edderton, officially dates back to 1790 (but was distilling before then): in 1846, it was recorded that it consumed 120 bushels of malt weekly, producing 240 gallons of whisky, of very high repute.[4] The distillery and village were served by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway from 1864 until Edderton railway station closed in 1960.
