Beauly
Beauly is a community in the Kilmorack Parish of the Scottish County of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 kilometres) west of Inverness by the Far North railway line. The community is now within the Highland council location. The land around Beauly is productive - traditionally corn was expanded extensively and a lot more recently fruit has actually efficiently been farmed. The town historically sold coal, hardwood, lime, grain and also fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government accepted questionable plans for a high-voltage line upgrade that will certainly begin in Beauly and finish in Denny, Falkirk. The new high-voltage line, part of a strategy to carry electrical power produced by wind farms on the Western Isles, was called "the most substantial grid infrastructure job in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will certainly include a network of 600 pylons, ranging in elevation from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 feet). The first part of the transmission circuit (Beauly to Ft Augustus) was switched on in July 2013. The population of Beauly was 1,126 in 1991, 1,283 in 2001 and 1,365 in 2011.
