Dalneigh
Dalneigh is an area in the Scottish city of Inverness. Located in the west of the city, it lies between the River Ness and the Caledonian Canal. The name is derived from the Gaelic word Dalneich, meaning 'Field of Horses'. It was originally a farm (as hinted by the name) but following the end of the Second World War, it was turned into a residential area to provide housing for the expected increase in demand. Over the following fifty years, successive waves of development saw Dalneigh transformed from farmland into home for over three thousand people.
In 1937, Inverness High School was opened in the east of Dalneigh and today is still the main secondary school for the area's children, although the school roll has declined from over one thousand in the 1950s to just under half that today. Dalneigh Primary School is one of Inverness High's feeder primaries and is situated in central Dalneigh.
Prior to their merger with Inverness Thistle F.C. in 1994, Caledonian F.C. played at Telford Street Park in the north of Dalneigh, and drew a lot of their support from the area.
Politically, Dalneigh is split between three wards of The Highland Council: Canal, Muirtown and Ballifeary.
