Immaculate Conception Church, Stratherrick is in the Dalcrag area of Whitebridge, Inverness-Shire, in the Highlands of Scotland and is a part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen. It is an active parish church served from Fort Augustus with regular weekly Sunday Mass at 12.30pm. It is also a place of local pilgrimage as it has the shrine to 'Our Lady of the Highlands' within its grounds.

Lord Lovat offered a site for a Catholic Church to be built at the croft at Bridge of Loin and a collection, which raised £49, was undertaken to pay for the new building. Alexander McDonell, a native of Fort Augustus, who had recently returned to Scotland from Australia, contributed a further £391 and in March 1859 there was a call for estimates from masons, carpenters, slaters, plasterers and plumbers for work on the new Roman Catholic chapel and presbytery to be built at Dalcraig in Stratherrick. The chapel, seating 130, was consecrated in December 1859 and dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.
