Maryburgh Roundabout

You'll find this one on the A835 just outside Dingwall, and it's properly unusual - a roundabout that's become something of a talking point in the Highlands. What makes it worth a mention isn't the road junction itself, but the distinctive public art installation at its centre, which has caught the attention of locals and passing travellers alike. It's the sort of thing you notice when you're driving through rather than seek out deliberately, but if you're staying at Dingwall Camping and Caravanning Club Site or Highland Heights Luxury Glamping nearby, it's worth a quick look.

Truthfully, you won't spend long here. Two minutes on foot, maybe five if you take photos. It's not a destination in itself, but rather a quirk of the landscape - the kind of thing that makes you smile and think "why not" as you're passing through. Photographers might find it interesting for the light and context, and families driving between attractions could break the journey to stretch legs and point out something different from the usual roadside stops.

The roundabout sits right on your route if you're exploring the Black Isle or heading towards the Highlands proper from Dingwall. There's no admission charge or opening hours to worry about - you can pull over and have a look whenever you're passing. It's genuinely free and accessible. For a holiday in the area, treat it as a roadside moment rather than a scheduled activity. Worth five minutes while you're in the neighbourhood, but don't plan your day around it.
