Inverurie /ɪn.vərˈʊəri/ (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Uraidh or Inbhir Uaraidh, "mouth of the River Urie) is a Royal Burgh and town in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, about 16 miles (26 km) north west of Aberdeen on the A96 road and is served by Inverurie railway station on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line. The nearest airport is Aberdeen Airport at Dyce.
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. It sits between the River Don and the River Ury and is only 10 miles (16 km) from the imposing hill of Bennachie. The town centre is triangular and is dominated by the grand Town Hall built in 1862. In the middle of the 'square' (as it is known locally) is the Inverurie and District War Memorial, capped by a lone Gordon Highlander looking out over the town. The main shopping areas include the Market Place and West High Street which branches off from the centre towards the more residential part of the town. South of the River Don is the village of Port Elphinstone, which is part of the Royal Burgh of Inverurie and is so called due to the proximity of the Aberdeenshire Canal (Inverurie to Aberdeen) (now disused).
Inverurie in Aberdeenshire was a royal burgh that returned one commissioner to the Parliament of Scotland and to the Convention of Estates.
After the Acts of Union 1707, Banff, Cullen, Elgin, Inverurie and Kintore comprised the Elgin district of burghs, electing one Member of Parliament between them to the House of Commons of Great Britain.
Rumors telling me you are mourning
And you haven't slept for several days
You've been turning inside out, looking for reasons
And your black sorry eyes made you pale
And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all
And it was cold
If we say there is something above the mountains
If we say that there is something we can't see
Promise you will never believe me
'Cause I guess I'm just trying to make it easy
Everybody was laughing when they found us
One for you and one for me
Then they let us go to hunt us down again
And still you refuse to see
