Inverurie
Inverurie is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is situated at the convergence of the rivers Ury and Don, around 16 miles (26 kilometres) north west of Aberdeen. According to the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of about 10885. Inverurie's earliest known charter dates back to 1558, with its modern development happening after the structure of the Aberdeenshire Canal. This connected Port Elphinstone with Aberdeen Harbour in 1806. The Inverurie Locomotive Works, operating between 1905 and 1969, caused a modest rise in size and prosperity, but it was not till the 'Oil Boom' of the last quarter of the 20th century that the town became much of what is identified 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 in the area, is the Inverurie and District War Memorial, capped by a lone Gordon Highlander watching out over the town. The primary shopping areas include the Market Place and West High Street, which branch out from the centre to the more residential part of the town. Recently, Inverurie has actually seen a growing range of Aberdeen commuters going to live there, making it known as 'the fastest growing town in Great Britain'. The town has a variety of transport links adding to its attraction as a place in which to commute from, being located 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 improvements, make sure to identify reliable contractors in Inverurie to make certain of quality.
