Muir Of Ord
Muir of Ord is a town in the Highlands of Scotland. It is situated near the western boundary of the Black Isle, concerning 9 miles (14 km) west of the city of Inverness and 5 1/2 miles (9 km) south of Dingwall. The village has a population of 2,690 and sits 35 metres (115 ft) above sea level. Named Tarradale up until 1862, traditionally accessibility to the town was limited by the all-natural challenges of the River Beauly as well as the River Conon. This altered in 1814 with the building and construction of the Conon Bridge. Livestock vehicle drivers used the new paths to deliver livestock and also markets were set up in 1820 close to where the town currently exists. In 1835 whisky distilling procedures were legitimately approved in the town and by 1885 the Mill of Ord generated 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 l) per year. The town expanded thoroughly in the 19th century as a result of the establishment of the distillery and also goods markets.
