Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is located near the western boundary of the Black Isle, concerning 9 miles (14 km) west of the city of Inverness and also 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Dingwall. The town has a population of 2,690 and also sits 35 metres (115 feet) above sea level. Called Tarradale till 1862, traditionally access to the village was limited by the all-natural obstacles of the River Beauly as well as the River Conon. This altered in 1814 with the construction of the Conon Bridge. Cattle drivers used the new courses to transfer animals and markets were established in 1820 near to where the town currently lies. In 1835 whisky distilling operations were legitimately granted in the village as well as by 1885 the Mill of Ord generated 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) each year. The village grew thoroughly in the 19th century because of the establishment of the distillery and also products markets.
