In Dingwall On The Waters Ewan McVicar explores the ways that the town was made and shaped by water.Review: “It occurred to me that there is a theme of water literally running through Dingwall’s story. The Peffery, the Conon, the town’s original water supply The Water of Dyke made by the settler Norsemen, the fishing yair and the Alcaig ferry. “The more I looked, the more I found, though of course I also found differences of opinion among local hstorians. I have three likely candidates for the location of the Broadpool Cart Road the vikings made to get to the Conon. Several confident assertions made by Norman Macrae’s 1923 volume, Dingwall’s Story Of A Thousand Years, have been carefully doubted by David D MacDonald.” - http://www.ross-shirejournal.co.uk
