Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is located near the western limit of the Black Isle, concerning 9 miles (14 km) west of the city of Inverness and 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Dingwall. The town has a population of 2,690 and also sits 35 metres (115 ft) over water level. Called Tarradale up until 1862, historically accessibility to the village was limited by the natural barriers of the River Beauly and also the River Conon. This changed in 1814 with the building of the Conon Bridge. Livestock vehicle drivers used the brand-new paths to transfer livestock and markets were set up in 1820 close to where the village currently exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were legitimately granted in the town and also by 1885 the Mill of Ord produced 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) each year. The village grew thoroughly in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and also items markets.
