Invergordon
Invergordon has long been recognised as an ideal anchorage for ships. The history of the Royal Navy here dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and early in the 20th century the town became an official naval base. During the First World War, Invergordon was a full-scale base for the Royal Navy and in the Second World War it became a base for flying boats. More recently the Cromarty Firth Port Authority has provided local capability for the maintenance of oil rigs from all over the world and the pier at the Admiralty Base, in the heart of the town, is used by the visiting Cruise liners to provide their passengers access to the Highlands.
