The town has a population of 2,690 and also sits 35 metres (115 ft) above water level. Called Tarradale up until 1862, traditionally access to the town was restricted by the all-natural barriers of the River Beauly and also the River Conon. This transformed in 1814 with the construction of the Conon Bridge. Cattle drivers used the new paths to move animals and markets were established in 1820 near where the village currently exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were lawfully approved in the village as well as by 1885 the Mill of Ord created 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) per year. The village grew extensively in the 19th century due to the establishment of the distillery as well as products markets.
