Beauly
Beauly is a town in the Kilmorack Parish of the Scottish County of Inverness, on the River Beauly, 10 miles (16 kilometres) west of Inverness by the Far North railway line. The town is now within the Highland council location. The land around Beauly is productive - traditionally corn was grown extensively and also a lot more recently fruit has actually efficiently been farmed. The town historically traded in coal, lumber, lime, grain as well as fish. In January 2010, the Scottish government accepted controversial plans for a high-voltage line upgrade that will certainly begin in Beauly as well as end in Denny, Falkirk. The new power line, part of a strategy to bring electrical energy generated by wind farms on the Western Isles, was called "the most substantial grid framework task in a generation" by Jim Mather MSP. The 220-kilometre (140 mi) line will certainly include a network of 600 pylons, ranging in height from 42 to 65 metres (138 to 213 ft). The initial 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 as well as 1,365 in 2011.
