Invergordon is a community as well as port in Easter Ross, in Ross as well as Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. It hinges on the parish of Rosskeen. The community is well known for the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. More just recently it has actually also ended up being known for the repair service of oil well which line up in the Cromarty Firth on which the community is situated. In the 1970s and also 1980s nearby Nigg was recognized for the building and construction of these rigs. The backyard used for this is now attempting to re-establish itself as a producer of huge offshore wind turbines and oil rig refurbishment since being bought by Global Energy Group. For a number of years Invergordon was the site of an aluminium smelter up until 1981 when British Aluminium shut it down. The pipe that covered the conveyor belt from the smelter to the Bachelor's Degree pier was not taken apart until the very early 2000s and both big tanks still stand today as well as a water tower. It still has a grain whisky distillery, run by Philippines-owned whisky giant Whyte as well as Mackay, the result of which adds to lots of blended whiskies. Attached to the distillery was the Invergordon Distillery Pipe Band. At present the port is checked out by several huge cruise liners each year, as the deep water port allows disembarkation for coach tours in the northern Highlands. Since the 1970s some would certainly regard the community as a 'Glasgow nest', since numerous workers were hired from southern Scotland to work in the oil rig fabrication and aluminium smelting sectors. Therefore, the residents' accents commonly reveal a lot more impact from Glasgow, than the surrounding Easter Ross language of Highland English although this has actually transformed recently. In recent times Global Energy Group have actually been increasing, with the purchase of the Nigg construction lawn it has actually also brought much appreciated work to Invergordon's Docks with the town once more filled with oil company workers through the day.
