Dingwall & Highland Marts Limited
Description
The Highland's Premier Auctioneers.
More than just a place to sell livestock. From the opening of the first purpose-built mart in Dingwall in 1884 to the operation of today's state-of-the-art facility at Humberston, Dingwall has established its reputation as a true market town on a wealth of experience in traditional and modern farming.
Evolving from a farmers' co-operative, Dingwall & Highland Marts Limited is managed by auctioneers and members of the local farming community who are uniquely placed to represent and promote the interests of Highland buyers and producers.
Our belief in the outstanding quality and long-term future of Highland livestock led us to invest £3million in our new premises which opened to the public in 2003 - an investment which remains crucial in supporting and developing the Highland livestock industry and associated businesses.
