Welcome to the Inverarity Community Website.
Inverarity is approximately six miles from its nearest large town, the Royal Burgh of Forfar, and is found in the County of Angus. The nearest city is Dundee which lies approximately seven miles to the South.
The area now known as Inverarity comprises a predominantly rural region of approximately 44 square kilometres. The name of the parish is derived from the Gaelic inbhir meaning the creek or river mouth of the Arity. The main water drainage of the area is via the Kerbet and Corbie burns, which merge to the south east of Inverarity School. The name Arity is sometimes used in reference to the Corbie burn.
The parish has been formed from the three older parishes of Meathie-Lour, Inverarity and Kirkbuddo. Clockwise from the North it has borders with Forfar, Lour, Carmyllie, Monikie, Murroes, Tealing, Glamis, and Kinnettles. At present it is grouped with the latter two for ecclesiastical purposes, though civil boundaries include it in the West and Dean ward of North Tayside.
Transport through the parish takes the main route of the A90 from Forfar to Dundee. The Douglastown to Inverarity road (B9127) allows communication through the parish from northwest to east and on to Arbroath and most minor roads and tracks branch from this or the A90.
