Beauly is a community in the Kilmorack Church of the Scottish Area of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 km) west of Inverness by the Far North railway line. The town is now within the Highland council area. The land around Beauly is fertile - historically corn was expanded extensively as well as extra just recently fruit has actually efficiently been farmed. The town historically sold coal, hardwood, lime, grain and also fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government approved questionable plans for a power line upgrade that will certainly begin in Beauly and finish in Denny, Falkirk. The brand-new power line, part of a plan to lug power produced by wind farms on the Western Isles, was called "one of the most significant grid framework project in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will consist of a network of 600 pylons, ranging in height from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 ft). The very first part of the transmission circuit (Beauly to Fort Augustus) was switched on in July 2013. The population of Beauly was 1,126 in 1991, 1,283 in 2001 as well as 1,365 in 2011.
