| Description | Inverurie (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir) is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, approximately 16 miles north west of Aberdeen. Inverurie is located in the valley of the River Don at the centre of Aberdeenshire and is known locally as the Heart of the Garioch. Religious houses were founded here from the 9th century. The current town is said to have been founded by David of Huntingdon, Earl of the Garioch, brother of Malcolm IV, great-great-grandfather of Robert the Bruce who defeated the Comyns nearby at the Battle of Barra on Christmas Eve 1307. However, the town's earliest known charter dates from 1558, with its modern development taking place after the building of the Aberdeenshire Canal. |
