About Spinningdale
Spinningdale is a village. Location: Highland, Scotland. Population: 81. Elevation: 23 m.
Spinningdale (Scottish Gaelic: Spainiadail ) is a hamlet in the Parish of Creich, on the north shore of the Dornoch Firth in eastern Sutherland, in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies 5 miles (8 kilometres) northeast of Bonar Bridge and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. As "dale" occurs at the end of the name, Spinningdale was probably originally a Norse name with dalr meaning 'valley' (unlike places beginning with "Dal-" which usually come from Gaelic Dail meaning 'meadow').
