Dingwall, Market town in Highland, Scotland
The streets of Dingwall extend around the Cromarty Firth, with stone buildings and local shops lining the central High Street toward the historic Town Hall.
Alexander II established Dingwall as a royal burgh in 1226, and its castle became the largest fortification north of Stirling during the early Middle Ages.
The Dingwall Museum, housed in the former Town Hall, contains exhibits about local history, including a reconstructed smithy and military memorabilia.
Dingwall railway station connects travelers to Inverness, the Far North Line, and Kyle of Lochalsh, with regular services throughout Highland region.
The town name originates from the Norse word Þingvöllr, marking its past as a Viking assembly location for legal and political gatherings.
