In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Munlochy like this:
Munlochy, a village in Knockbain parish, Ross-shire, ½ mile W of the head of Munlochy Bay, 55/8 miles WSW of Fortrose, and 6¾ N by W of Inverness, with which it communicates daily by the mail gig. It has a post office under Inverness, with money order, savings' bank, and telegraph departments, a public school, a reading-room and library, yearly games of the Black Isle Athletic Association, a jetty, and a considerable export trade in wood-props, staves, and sleepers. ...
Munlochy Bay, an inlet of the Moray Firth, extends 23/8 miles westward; has a maximum width of ½ mile; and is an excellent fishing station.—Ord. Sur., shs. 83, 84, 1881-76.
