Inverurie
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies at the confluence of the rivers Ury and Don, roughly 16 miles (26 kilometres) north west of Aberdeen. In accordance with the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of about 10885. Inverurie's earliest known charter go back to 1558, with its modern-day development happening as a result of the building of the Aberdeenshire Canal. This linked Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works, running in between 1905 and 1969, led to a modest rise in size and prosperity, but it was not until the 'Oil Boom' of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town turned into much of what is recognised as its present form. The town centre is triangular and is loomed over 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, topped 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 recent times, Inverurie has seen a growing amount of Aberdeen commuters going to live there, making it considered as 'the fastest growing town in Great Britain'. The town has a range of transportation links adding to its attraction as a place in which to commute from, being set on the A96 road and served by Inverurie railway station on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. The nearest airport is Aberdeen Airport at Dyce. For all your home refurbishments, make certain to identify respected contractors in Inverurie to make certain of quality.
