Muir of Ord

Muir of Ord (Scottish Gaelic: Am Blàr Dubh) is a village in Easter Ross, in the Highland council area of Scotland.

In September 2022, the village came to media attention when a local fish and chip shop owner uploaded a Facebook video celebrating the death of Queen Elizabeth II with a bottle of champagne.

[6] In 1835 whisky distilling operations were legally granted in the village and by 1885 the Mill of Ord produced 80,000 imperial gallons (360,000 L) per year.

The building is held to have been the site of a notorious massacre in 1603 when warriors from Clan MacDonell of Glengarry came to reckon with their enemies the MacKenzies of Kintail and found a congregation of them at prayer.

[10] The church was sealed with them still inside and set on fire while the MacDonells' piper circled the building playing 'March Glengarry' to mask the sounds of screaming.

Originally belonging to Tarradale primary school the building had been left unused for numerous years before being refurbished in January 2017.
