Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland. It is located near the western limit of the Black Isle, about 9 miles (14 km) west of the city of Inverness and also 5 1/2 miles (9 kilometres) south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,690 as well as rests 35 metres (115 ft) over sea level. Called Tarradale until 1862, historically access to the village was limited by the all-natural challenges of the River Beauly and the River Conon. This transformed in 1814 with the construction of the Conon Bridge. Cattle vehicle drivers made use of the brand-new paths to carry livestock and markets were established in 1820 near where the village currently exists. In 1835 whisky distilling operations were legally provided in the town and by 1885 the Mill of Ord produced 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) annually. The town grew extensively in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and goods sectors.
