Invergordon is a town and also port in Easter Ross, in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland. It lies in the parish of Rosskeen. The town is well known for the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. Much more recently it has also come to be understood for the fixing of oil well which line up in the Cromarty Firth on which the community is located. In the 1970s and also 1980s close-by Nigg was understood for the building of these rigs. The yard made use of for this is currently attempting to re-establish itself as a fabricator of large overseas wind turbines and oil well refurbishment given that being purchased by Global Energy Group. For a number of years Invergordon was the website of an aluminium smelter till 1981 when British Aluminium shut it down. The pipeline that covered the conveyor belt from the smelter to the BA pier was not taken down up until the very early 2000s and both large storage tanks still stand today in addition to a water tower. It still has a grain whisky distillery, run by Philippines-owned whisky titan Whyte and also Mackay, the output of which contributes to several mixed whiskies. Linked to the distillery was the Invergordon Distillery Pipe Band. Today the port is seen by many big cruise liners each year, as the deep water port allows disembarkation for train trips in the northern Highlands. Since the 1970s some would certainly regard the town as a ‘Glasgow colony’, since several employees were hired from southerly Scotland to work in the oil rig manufacture and also aluminium smelting industries. Therefore, the locals’ accents frequently show much more influence from Glasgow, than the bordering Easter Ross language of Highland English although this has transformed in recent years. Recently Global Energy Group have been expanding, with the purchase of the Nigg fabrication backyard it has also brought much appreciated work to Invergordon’s Docks with the town again packed with oil firm employees through the day.
