does Inverurie cover different villiages & towns please
Inverurie is a parish, and also the town of the same name which is in the parish. There are no other towns in the modern sense in the parish of Inverurie, but there are various farms in the rural part of the parish. The only place bigger than a single farm is Burnhervie.
