Beauly is a town in the Kilmorack Parish of the Scottish Area of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 km) west of Inverness by the Far North railway line. The community is now within the Highland council location. The land around Beauly is abundant - historically corn was expanded extensively and much more recently fruit has effectively been farmed. The community traditionally sold coal, hardwood, lime, grain and fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government authorized questionable prepare for a power line upgrade that will certainly start in Beauly and finish in Denny, Falkirk. The brand-new power line, part of a strategy to lug electrical energy produced by wind farms on the Western Isles, was called "the most substantial grid infrastructure project in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will certainly include a network of 600 pylons, ranging in height from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 feet). The first part of the transmission circuit (Beauly to Fort Augustus) was activated in July 2013. The population of Beauly was 1,126 in 1991, 1,283 in 2001 and 1,365 in 2011.
