Inverurie
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the junction of the rivers Ury and Don, approximately 16 miles (26 kilometres) north west of Aberdeen. In accordance with the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of about 10885. Inverurie's earliest known charter dates back to 1558, with its contemporary development coming about as a result of the building of the Aberdeenshire Canal. This connected Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works, running in between 1905 and 1969, resulted in a modest boost in size and prosperity, but it was not until the 'Oil Boom' of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town developed into much of what is identified as its present form. The town centre is triangular and is prevailed over by the grand Town Hall, which was developed in 1862. In the middle of the 'square', as it is known in the area, is the Inverurie and District War Memorial, capped by a lone Gordon Highlander watching out over the town. The primary shopping areas include the Market Place and West High Street, which branch off from the centre to the more residential part of the town. In recent times, Inverurie has actually seen a growing amount of Aberdeen commuters going to live there, making it known as 'the fastest growing town in Great Britain'. The town has a range of transport links contributing to its attraction as a place in which to commute from, being located on the A96 road and served by Inverurie train station on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. The nearest airport is Aberdeen Airport at Dyce. For all your home improvements, be sure to find reputable professionals in Inverurie to make certain of quality.
