Dingwall
Archaeological_site in Scotland, dating from the Early Medieval
Dingwall i det skotske Højland bærer et navn der stammer direkte fra det oldnordiske Þingvǫllr (tingslette). Byen var centrum for jarldømmet Ross og tjente som norrøst tingsted i det nordlige Skotland. Moot Hill i byen menes at være den oprindelige tinghøj, hvor de norrøne bosættere afholdt deres retsmøder og forsamlinger.
