Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a town in the Highlands of Scotland. It is positioned near the western border of the Black Isle, concerning 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of the city of Inverness and 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,690 and also sits 35 metres (115 feet) above sea level. Called Tarradale up until 1862, historically accessibility to the village was restricted by the all-natural challenges of the River Beauly and the River Conon. This transformed in 1814 with the building of the Conon Bridge. Cattle drivers made use of the new courses to deliver animals and markets were set up in 1820 near where the town currently lies. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were legitimately granted in the village and by 1885 the Mill of Ord generated 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) each year. The town grew extensively in the 19th century because of the establishment of the distillery and also goods markets.
