LOCATION
The Town of Dingwall is located on the banks of the River Conon in the beautiful rural setting of Easter Ross-shire. With a population of circa 6,000 but a much higher catchment area, the wider area benefits from thriving agricultural, engineering, tourism and port related businesses. Due to its location, Dingwall is a centre of administration and as such is well provided for in terms of social, welfare and general services. The town has a long and established history, and the wider area has a great many attractions such as castles, distilleries and golf courses. However, many visitors just come to enjoy the beautiful countryside and hill walking. For those interested in field sports and fishing, rural Ross-shire offers unparalleled experiences with some outstanding salmon and trout fishing. The Cromarty Firth and Moray Firth are popular venues for adventurous water sports with many freshwater Lochs in the region providing an outlet for a wide range of activities. The Moray Firth also attracts visitors due to the presence of dolphins and minke whales. Dingwall is approximately 14 miles from Inverness, a vibrant centre of tourism and commerce with excellent communication links (Rail and Airport).
