Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a town in the Highlands of Scotland. It is located near the western boundary of the Black Isle, about 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of the city of Inverness and also 5 1/2 miles (9 km) south of Dingwall. The town has a population of 2,690 and sits 35 metres (115 feet) over water level. Named Tarradale until 1862, traditionally accessibility to the town was limited by the all-natural obstacles of the River Beauly as well as the River Conon. This transformed in 1814 with the building and construction of the Conon Bridge. Livestock drivers made use of the brand-new routes to move animals and also markets were established in 1820 close to where the town now exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were lawfully approved in the village as well as by 1885 the Mill of Ord created 80,000 royal gallons (360,000 l) annually. The village grew extensively in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and also goods sectors.
