Invergordon is a community and port in Easter Ross, in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. It depends on the parish of Rosskeen. The town is well known for the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. A lot more lately it has actually likewise ended up being understood for the repair work of oil rigs which align in the Cromarty Firth on which the town is situated. In the 1970s and also 1980s close-by Nigg was recognized for the building and construction of these gears. The backyard used for this is now attempting to re-establish itself as a maker of big offshore wind generators as well as oil well repair given that being purchased by Global Energy Group. For a number of years Invergordon was the site of an aluminium smelter up until 1981 when British Aluminium closed it down. The pipeline that covered the conveyor belt from the smelter to the Bachelor’s Degree pier was not taken down till the very early 2000s and the two huge storage tanks still stand today in addition to a water tower. It still has a grain whisky distillery, run by Philippines-owned whisky giant Whyte and Mackay, the result of which adds to several blended whiskies. Linked to the distillery was the Invergordon Distillery Pipe Band. Presently the port is seen by many large cruise liners yearly, as the deep water port enables disembarkation for train trips in the northern Highlands. Since the 1970s some would regard the community as a ‘Glasgow swarm’, since lots of employees were recruited from southern Scotland to work in the oil rig construction and also aluminium smelting markets. Consequently, the residents’ accents commonly show much more impact from Glasgow, than the surrounding Easter Ross dialect of Highland English although this has altered in the last few years. In the last few years Global Energy Group have been expanding, with the purchase of the Nigg construction backyard it has actually also brought much valued work to Invergordon’s Docks with the town once more packed with oil company employees via the day.
