Living in Invergordon
Invergordon should serve as an inspiration to all. It is a determined, small, Highland community that refused to be beaten.
The 20th century brought it prosperity in the form of a naval base, aluminium smelter and heavy engineering with the fabrication and repair of oil rigs.
But the base and the smelter closed and there has been a downturn in engineering.
The town’s future was looking uncertain and so it decided to reinvent itself.
The natural deep water port that made Invergordon so attractive to the Royal Navy means that several large cruise liners can dock simultaneously making it the gateway for their passengers’ shore excursions. Virtually every cruise liner that calls at North European ports, calls at Invergordon at least once a year, and some more often.
The B817 along the shore to Invergordon is part of the historic Pictish Trail and the Ross and Cromarty Naval Trail for visitors who want to get off the A9 and explore the surrounding countryside.
Then there is the town itself: it decided to become an open-air art gallery. Today there are 11 murals around the centre of Invergordon, depicting the life and times of the town. The group of volunteers who started this amazing project back in 2002, calling themselves ‘Invergordon off the wall’ say that up to 500,000 visitors a year come to see the murals, in that time more than 200 new businesses have opened and morale and pride in the town has increased dramatically.
Invergordon is home to a distillery, owned by Whyte and Mackay.
Inverness is only 23 miles away by road and Invergordon is also linked by rail, so many people commute to the city from here to work. Inverness is the hub of the region’s social and cultural life with plenty of shopping, theatre, cinema and an incredible live music scene. Inverness Airport has links with the major UK airports and Europe and major railway station with links to major Scottish cities and onward to the rest of the UK including the Caledonian Sleeper service to London.
Invergordon Academy takes pupils from four primary schools in the area.
