Dingwall attractions |
|
 Dingwall
is a bustling market town and lies in an important position at
the head of the Beauly Firth. Centrally placed in the High Street
is Dingwall's most striking building, the tolbooth. This has
a tower that dates back to 1730, though the wings that flank
it were added in 1905. Today it houses the Dingwall Museum. |
