It is sandwiched between the A9 road, to its north, and the Highland mainline railway and River Garry, both to its south, and lies just north of Struan and west of Pitagowan.[2] The Falls of Bruar are one mile to the south-west. The former route of the A9, now the B847, runs through the settlement.
The hamlet is known for the Calvine UFO sighting, which occurred nearby, in 1990.[3]
