Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is positioned near the western limit of the Black Isle, regarding 9 miles (14 kilometres) 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) above sea level. Called Tarradale until 1862, historically access to the town was restricted by the natural barriers of the River Beauly and also the River Conon. This altered in 1814 with the building of the Conon Bridge. Livestock drivers made use of the new paths to transfer animals and also 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 by 1885 the Mill of Ord created 80,000 royal gallons (360,000 l) per year. The town expanded thoroughly in the 19th century because of the establishment of the distillery as well as goods markets.
