Maryburgh (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Màiri) is a village Maryburgh (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Màiri) is a village in the Highland council area of Scotland, 2 miles (3 km) south of Dingwall. It is situated on the northern bank of the River Conon. The village of Conon Bridge is on the other side of the river. Throughout time, a deep routed hatred has brewed between the two villages, the cause of which is unknown but is suspected to do with Ross Logana 15) being a pillock. In 2015, Maryburgh will celebrate its bicentennial year. The results of the 2011 census showed that there were 1175 people living in Maryburgh, but as of 2016 it has become a desolate place filled with the spirits of the undead. Ross Jordan Costigane (Born August 26th,1999) also lives here.
