Invergordon
Invergordon is a town as well as port in Easter Ross, in Ross as well as Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. It lies in the parish of Rosskeen. The town is well known for the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. A lot more just recently it has likewise ended up being recognized for the repair work of oil rigs which line up in the Cromarty Firth on which the town is situated. In the 1970s as well as 1980s nearby Nigg was understood for the construction of these gears. The yard used for this is now trying to re-establish itself as a producer of huge overseas wind generators as well as oil well repair since being purchased by Global Energy Group. For a number of years Invergordon was the site of an aluminium smelter up until 1981 when British Aluminium closed it down. The pipeline that covered the conveyor belt from the smelter to the BA pier was not taken down till the very early 2000s as well as the two big storage tanks still stand today in addition to a water tower. It still has a grain whisky distillery, operated by Philippines-owned whisky giant Whyte and also Mackay, the output of which contributes to several mixed whiskies. Connected to the distillery was the Invergordon Distillery Pipe Band. Presently the port is visited by many large cruise liners annually, as the deep water port permits disembarkation for train trips in the northern Highlands. Since the 1970s some would certainly perceive the town as a 'Glasgow colony', since lots of workers were recruited from southerly Scotland to work in the oil rig construction as well as aluminium smelting industries. Consequently, the residents' accents frequently reveal much more impact from Glasgow, than the bordering Easter Ross dialect of Highland English although this has altered in recent times. In the last few years Global Energy Group have been increasing, with the purchase of the Nigg fabrication yard it has also brought much valued work to Invergordon's Docks with the town once again loaded with oil business employees through the day.
