Spinningdale (Scottish Gaelic: Spainnigeadal), possibly from the Norse "'Spinne-Dalr'" for 'round valley', is a hamlet on the north shore of Dornoch Firth in eastern Sutherland, Scottish Highlands and 5 miles north-east from Bonar Bridge and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
The A949 road, the old A9, before the 1991 opening of the Dornoch Bridge, passes through Spinningdale.
