Planned village, Dallas, Moray |
Dallas was founded in 1811. Like most of Scotland's planned villages it was created and, to an extent, run by a local landowner.
Dallas got by as a trades and services centre for its agricultural hinterland. The presence of two storey houses on a broad, if poorly drained, street suggests the intention of creating something grander and more urban.
Without patronage, industry or tourists, Dallas never prospered – a fate shared by many planned villages. Its North American namesake fared better. |
