Beauly is a community in the Kilmorack Church of the Scottish Region of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 kilometres) west of Inverness by the Far North train line. The town is now within the Highland council location. The land around Beauly is fertile - historically corn was grown extensively as well as more recently fruit has effectively been farmed. The town historically traded in coal, hardwood, lime, grain as well as fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government accepted debatable plans for a high-voltage line upgrade that will start in Beauly and end in Denny, Falkirk. The brand-new high-voltage line, part of a plan to lug power generated by wind ranches on the Western Isles, was called "one of the most substantial grid infrastructure project in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will certainly contain a network of 600 pylons, ranging in height from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 feet). The initial part of the transmission circuit (Beauly to Fort Augustus) was activated in July 2013. The population of Beauly was 1,126 in 1991, 1,283 in 2001 and also 1,365 in 2011.
