Muir of Ord is a village in the Highlands of Scotland, located just west of Inverness in the county of Ross-shire. It sits at the head of the Beauly Firth, where fertile farmland meets the rolling hills and wooded landscapes typical of this part of the Highlands.
The village has a peaceful, rural character and serves as a small local hub for the surrounding farming communities. It’s known for its attractive setting, with views towards Ben Wyvis to the north and easy access to rivers, woodland walks, and open countryside. Despite its modest size, Muir of Ord has good transport links, including a railway station on the Kyle of Lochalsh line, making it a convenient base for exploring the wider Highlands.
Historically, the area developed around agriculture and later the railway, and it retains a strong sense of local identity. Today, Muir of Ord is perhaps best known for being close to Glen Ord Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, which adds to the village’s cultural and economic significance.
Overall, Muir of Ord is a quiet, welcoming Highland village that combines rural charm with accessibility, appealing to residents and visitors who enjoy nature, history, and a slower pace of life.
