Helmsdale (Scots: Helmsdal,[2] Scottish Gaelic: Bun Ilidh)[3] is a village on the east coast of Sutherland, in the Highland council area of Scotland. The modern village was planned in 1814 to resettle communities that had been removed from the surrounding straths as part of the Highland Clearances.
