Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is situated near the western border of the Black Isle, concerning 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of the city of Inverness and 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,690 and rests 35 metres (115 feet) over water level. Named Tarradale till 1862, traditionally accessibility to the town was restricted by the natural obstacles of the River Beauly and also the River Conon. This changed in 1814 with the building and construction of the Conon Bridge. Livestock drivers made use of the new paths to transfer animals as well as markets were established in 1820 near to where the town now exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were legitimately granted in the village and by 1885 the Mill of Ord produced 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) each year. The town expanded thoroughly in the 19th century due to the establishment of the distillery and also goods industries.
