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. 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.

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?
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.

    Hey there, Dinge-wall does have a very interesting history! Hmm ;) However, you failed to mention the wonder of the River Peff! Since 1566, tourists have been drawn from all over the world.. in awe of the 'healing waters' and to bathe in the 'miracle mud' which this magical river provides. It is said that 'Jaysus' once walked on this water!! Who'd have thunk it!! x x x
