a royal parliamentary and municipal burgh of Scotland, county of Aberdeen. It stands at the confluence of the Don and the Ury, each here crossed by a bridge, and is distant 16 miles N.W. from Aberdeen, on the line of the Aberdeen and Huntly Railway. The village is small and straggling; and the inhabitants are chiefly employed in agriculture. The Aberdeenshire canal, completed in 1807, connected it with Aberdeen, and was the means by which a considerable trade in grain, lime, bones, &c., was carried on. The canal has been purchased by the railway company, and a part of the basin filled up to form a track for the line of railway. Inverury unites with Elgin, Banff, Cullen, Kintore, and Peterhead, in sending a member to parliament. Pop. (1851) of municipal burgh, 2084; of parliamentary burgh, 2264.
