Beauly
Beauly is a town in the Kilmorack Parish of the Scottish Region of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 kilometres) west of Inverness by the Far North train line. The town is now within the Highland council location. The land around Beauly is productive - historically corn was grown thoroughly and also extra just recently fruit has actually effectively been farmed. The town traditionally traded in coal, timber, lime, grain and fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government approved controversial plans for a high-voltage line upgrade that will begin in Beauly and also finish in Denny, Falkirk. The brand-new high-voltage line, part of a strategy to lug electrical power produced by wind farms on the Western Isles, was called "the most considerable grid framework task in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will certainly include a network of 600 pylons, varying in height from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 ft). The very first part of the transmission circuit (Beauly to Fort Augustus) was turned on in July 2013. The population of Beauly was 1,126 in 1991, 1,283 in 2001 and also 1,365 in 2011.
