Invergordon
Beskrivelse
The naval institute was designed in 1914 in anticipation of the First World War.
The naval base was the venue for the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931. Remains of the naval base are evidenced in the tank farm lying behind the town centre; the port used to contain fuel oil and water supplies for naval ship.
One German bomb hit one of the tanks during the Second World War when a large flying boat base occupied much of the northerly coast of the Cromarty Firth.
The naval base closed in 1956.On 27–28 May 1957 the Royal Navy held a fleet review in the waters off the town.
