Inverurie
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is situated at the junction of the rivers Ury and Don, approximately 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 modern growth coming about subsequent to the structure of the Aberdeenshire Canal. This connected Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works, running between 1905 and 1969, caused a modest boost in size and prosperity, however it was not till the 'Oil Boom' of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town developed into much of what is recognised as its present form. The town centre is triangular and is dominated by the grand Town Hall, which was built 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 looking out over the town. The primary shopping areas include the Market Place and West High Street, which branch off from the centre towards the more residential part of the town. In the last few years, Inverurie has seen a progressing amount of Aberdeen commuters going to live there, making it called 'the fastest growing town in Great Britain'. The town has a range of transport links adding to its attraction as a place in which to commute from, being positioned on the A96 road and served by Inverurie railway station on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line.
