| 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. | Gender | | | | Male | | | | Profile Views | | | 5727 times | | | | Share the Luv | Relationship Status |  | 17 |

Dingwall Rocks says: "I know Cow Town is my other half but I do looooove sheep  " (56 weeks ago) me too! | ReplyThe Other Half Of Me | | 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.
