'''Garve''' ({{Langx|gd|Gairbh}}) is a village on the [Black Water](/source/Black_Water_(Conon)) river, in [Ross-shire](/source/Ross-shire), and is in the [Highland Council area](/source/Highland_Council_area) of [Scotland](/source/Scotland).<ref>{{cite web |title=Garve |url=http://www.scottish-places.info/towns/townfirst2123.html |website=The Gazetteer for Scotland |publisher=School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh and The Royal Scottish Geographical Society |accessdate=19 June 2018}}</ref> It is situated {{convert|5|mi|km|0}} northwest of [Contin](/source/Contin), on the [A835](/source/A835_road), the main road to [Ullapool](/source/Ullapool) on the west coast, close to where the [A832](/source/A832_road) branches off towards [Achnasheen](/source/Achnasheen).

The village is served by the [Garve railway station](/source/Garve_railway_station), on the [Kyle of Lochalsh Line](/source/Kyle_of_Lochalsh_Line), which crosses the A835 road on a level crossing.  In 1890 Garve was proposed as the starting-point of [a railway to Ullapool](/source/Garve_and_Ullapool_Railway).  The village has a primary school and a post office, but no shop. The village is within the Garve and District Community Council area.

Garve and District are served by the Garve and District Development Company, a company formed by the community during 2017.
