The Dingwall Town Hall, which is now used as a museum, is a significant historical structure located in the High Street of Dingwall, Highland, Scotland. This Category B listed building is a testament to the town's rich history and architectural heritage. It was originally built in 1745 as a municipal building to hold civic functions and incarcerate offenders. Today, it serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the town's past.
The Dingwall Town Hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the burgh council until 1975, when the enlarged Ross and Cromarty District Council was formed. At that time, the building transitioned into a new role as the home of the Dingwall Museum. Today, the museum houses a collection that includes a reconstruction of a local smithy and a room devoted to the life of Major-General Sir Hector MacDonald, a local hero who saw action at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898.
