Ardclach (Scottish Gaelic: Àird Chlach) is a small crofting hamlet, close to Glenferness[1] in the old county of Nairn, Scotland, within the Scottish council area of Highland.

Dating to at least 1655, and now a Category A listed building,[2] Ardclach Bell Tower is believed to be the only tower and belfry combination in Scotland.[3][4]
