Inverurie
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the junction of the rivers Ury and Don, about 16 miles (26 km) north west of Aberdeen. According to the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of about 10885. Inverurie's earliest known charter dates back to 1558, with its contemporary growth happening following the building of the Aberdeenshire Canal. This linked Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works, running between 1905 and 1969, resulted in a modest increase in size and prosperity, however it was not until the 'Oil Boom' of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town became much of what is recognised as its present form. The town centre is triangular and is overlooked by the grand Town Hall, which was developed in 1862. In the middle of the 'square', as it is known locally, is the Inverurie and District War Memorial, capped by a lone Gordon Highlander watching out over the town. The primary shopping areas feature the Market Place and West High Street, which branch out from the centre to the more residential part of the town. Lately, Inverurie has actually seen a growing number of Aberdeen commuters going to live there, making it known as 'the fastest growing town in Great Britain'. The town has a variety of transport links contributing to its attraction as a place in which to commute from, being set on the A96 road and served by Inverurie railway station on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. The closest airport is Aberdeen Airport at Dyce. For all of your home refurbishments, be sure to identify reliable professionals in Inverurie to make certain of quality.
