Dingwall (population 5,025)

The name Dingwall is of Norse origin, demonstrating the rich history of the region. Situated north of Inverness and the Beauly firth, it was settled by the Vikings and then absorbed into the Kingdom of Scotland in Medieval times. Road bridges across the firths have provided a straight route from Inverness to Dingwall, making travel to Inverness Airport easy. Dingwall Train Station connects the town to the Highlands and Sutherlandshire and offers high speed transport throughout Britain.

Dingwall is very close to the Victorian Spa Town of Strathpeffer, which contains the Strathpeffer Pavillion music venue. This picturesque building hosts numerous classical music concerts and theatre productions. Dingwall Museum is open to the public in summer whilst Dingwall Academy provides secondary education and shares premises with the Public Library. Dingwall primary school supplies education to younger children.

As well as public buildings, Dingwall has a robust retail sector with a large Tesco’s supermarket and an industrial estate. A sports stadium also promotes athletics in the town.
