Dallas ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Dalais) meaning 'valley of water') is a small rural village in Moray, Scotland, south west of Elgin. It has a population of between 150 and 200. Although not well known, many larger settlements around the world are named after it. Dallas, Texas derives its name, indirectly, from the Moray village. In Australia, Dallas, a suburb of Melbourne is also named after it. Dallas is known locally as having a good community spirit. It holds an ambitious village Gala every July in which local girls are picked to be the Gala Queen and her attendants. The gala is a bigger event than might be expected for such a small village, and attracts many visitors from surrounding areas. There is a lot of forestry in this region. The gardens of Dallas Lodge are often open to the public. The Church of St. Michael in the village dates from 1793, but is built on the site of an earlier church known from records to have been in existence in 1226. William Anderson VC (November 1885 – 13 March 1915), a World War I recipient of the Victoria Cross, was born in Dallas.〔(victoriacross.org.uk )〕 ==Dallas Castle== Dallas Castle is barely standing, with only one small wall remaining. Tradition says it was used by the Wolf of Badenoch as a storehouse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dallas, Moray」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
