Scope and Content This close view of Invergordon shows in the distance the WW1 fuel tanks of the Royal Navy Port Fuel Depot constructed in several phases between pre-1913 and the 1960s. It was built to provide fuel for naval ships who used the port. In front of the tank farm, in the blocks of buildings, is Invergordon distillery, established in 1959 and owned by Whyte and Mackay. In 1965 the same company built the Ben Wyvis Distillery within the same complex. Within the estate in the foreground are Admiralty Cottages, 126 houses built 1914-18 for dockyard personnel. Now renamed, they survive and are still inhabited. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
