Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a town in the Highlands of Scotland. It is positioned near the western boundary of the Black Isle, about 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of the city of Inverness as well as 5 1/2 miles (9 km) south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,690 and rests 35 metres (115 feet) above sea level. Named Tarradale until 1862, traditionally accessibility to the village was restricted by the natural barriers of the River Beauly as well as the River Conon. This altered in 1814 with the building of the Conon Bridge. Cattle vehicle drivers used the new routes to carry animals as well as markets were established in 1820 close to where the village now exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were legitimately granted in the town and also by 1885 the Mill of Ord created 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) annually. The village grew extensively in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and also items industries.
