Dingwall Rocks <DingwallRocks>


Dingwall ("Inberpeffoarian Orsaheen Leichthat" in Scots Gaelic) is a sprawling metropolis and former Royal Burgh in the Highlands of Scotland and was built purely to annoy the residents of Inverness which is 12 miles south of the town. Because of its vast expanse it is known as "The New York of the Highlands".

All of the town’s residents hate living in Dingwall and want to live in either Inverness or Glasgow, but Maggie Paterson, the Mayor of Dingwall, will not allow anyone to leave. Those who do manage to escape from the town are always lured back with promises of riches and good craic, but this is a lie. In Dingwall there are no riches and there is no craic.

I love Cow Town - MoO!

History and Culture
Dingwall was originally founded by Macbeth in 10 A.D. and was called Macbethville until the year 109 A.D, when the Vikings arrived for a holiday. The Vikings liked Macbethville so much that they decided to buy the town from Macbeth for two bags of shells and a handful of salt, which they thought was very good value. After their takeover, the Vikings transformed Macbethville into a holiday camp and renamed the town Viklins. Viklins proved to be very popular and people would come from far and wide for a one week summer holiday where they could enjoy sports such as knobbly knees contests, three legged races and gurning. Viklins continued to be popular until 840 A.D. until the arrival of the Tinks who were experts at avoiding bill payments and refused to leave. The Tinks stayed and bred eventually taking over Viklins and some of the surrounding area and eventually the name of Viklins changed to Tinkwell which has now become what we know and love as Dingwall.
Language
Dingwall has an ancient language which is similar to English but has some unique words and phrases. Here are a few of them: Gadgee/Gadge/Gudgie/Gudge - Man; Manishee - Woman; Blinky - Window; Wud/wuddie/wad/waddie - A dirty, smelly poor person who would probably eat chewing gum that he/she has chiselled off the pavement; Nut/Nat - No; Moth - Big/Very good; Deek - Look; Fanny - Funny; Scone - Head; Bursht - To hit/ kick someone in i.e. "I seen that Jakey Stewart deekeen at ma manishee fanny, so ah took him outside an' pure bursht him like."; Mappich - Drunk; Whasscrack? - How are you today?
Transport
Dingwall boasts a railway station, several bus stops and a road that leads north, south, east and west. Many visitors to Dingwall are fooled into believing that the road and railway are ways out of Dingwall but little do they know that they are the way in. Thanks to the fantastic bus services in the Highland Region, a bus can be caught every 30 seconds from Dingwall to anywhere in the world. All Highland Buses are fuelled by piping hot broth and porridge. However, the railway service in Dingwall is not as efficient as the bus service, this partly due to the trains only being available every 20 years to either Wick or Kyle Maclachlan. To access the Railway Station platform, you have to pass the mallard, a giant duck which has taken up residence next to the station. The mallard is an extremely aggressive duck that spends most of its time drunk. The more drunk the mallard gets, the louder it becomes and its quacking can be heard for miles around.
Entertainment
In Dingwall there is a wide array of entertainment to keep the locals happy and the visitors and tourists amused and bemused. The Commercial Bar is Dingwall’s finest Bar/ Bistro. With its authentic décor of yesteryear, when you set foot through the door you’ll think you’ve been transported back in time to 1975. The aromatic smell of stale beer, wet dog and urine all mixed into one are guaranteed to get your mouth watering. You’ll be greeted by the landlady, Jeannie: a pleasant, cheery 115 year old hag with a mass of frizzy, ginger hair a top her heid. Once you have dined on a bag of fishy tasting pork scratchings and half a bag of Tesco value salt flavoured crisps washed down with vodka and flat lemonade, why not take a relaxing seat in the snug which is situated at the back of the bar. The snug features foam padded seats with genuine PVC coverings and if you’re lucky, and she isn’t too busy serving her customer warm cloudy lager, Jeannie will join you and tell you confusing tales.
Interesting facts
Dingwall is one of the few towns in the world that can appear in more than one place at the same time. Currently, Dingwall is appearing in three different places all at the same time in: Ross-shire, Scotland; Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; and Victoria, Australia. And each of these Dingwalls look and smell exactly the same.

Having a look at my shopping town site. Who is this man, is he the same one that I read about recently in the North Star? Not a very nice impression he gives to the highlands. Thank goodness I live far away from civilisation or so called civilisation
