Until 1862, Muir of Ord was known as Tarradale. The settlement grew quickly after Thomas Telford built the Conon and Lovat Bridges in 1814.
These bridges opened overland routes through the area. Cattle drovers from across the north met here at the Muir trysts. These were large livestock markets held on flat land between the two rivers.
The Mill of Ord legalised its whisky production in 1838. It later became Glen Ord Distillery and still operates today. The Inverness and Ross-shire Railway arrived in 1862. The station was named Muir of Ord.
Over time, the village took the same name. The Tarradale title then faded. This history still affects property today. The annual agricultural show is held every August on land just outside the village. It brings thousands of visitors and continues the old market tradition.

Start with the Home Report. It covers condition, valuation, and energy rating. Then check the address on a map. Look at the distance to the station, school, and shops.
