Scorguie

Scorguie (/skɔːrˈɡuːi/; Scottish Gaelic: Sgor Gaoithe, meaning "The Windy Ridge") is an area of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland.

For most of the city's history, Scorguie was a large tract of farmland tied to an area known as "Knockgurr".

Throughout the 19th century it was owned by the Duffs of Muirtown, along with a small portion of nearby Merkinch.

The farm appears in a court report from 1857, in which it states crofters renting the land were to pay "£90 a year" (roughly £9,200 today).

[1] After centuries of existence as pastureland, housing projects in Scorguie began sometime after the Second World War.
