This article is a bit small. We need photographs and more information!
I agree on the photos, but I think it is long enough. --Em es 08:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dunblane Unburied link
It seems weird to have a link to this conspiracy theory website from the Dunblane page, especially given that the massacre itself is rightly given its own article. It would be more appropriate to link it from that article, if any. I'm removing it.. Dw290 13:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Don't Cave to the Dave campaign
This is not wiki worthy. This was a pupil led campaign based around discrediting a new head-teacher whose new ideas were not approved of by pupils. Whether this campaign was successful or not, it not based around fact or knowledge. I am going to remove it.

[edit] Nice
I think that it is good that this page is not taken up by the tragedy of the 1990s. It so easily could have been but there is just a small section. Good work! Cls14 13:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Town/City
Since Dunblane has a cathedral it is officially a city so I feel that it should be noted that that is the case. As such I have changed as many references of the word "town" to "city" as I could find. If for some reason it has been "demoted" and is no longer a city then feel free to revert this. 78.86.129.231 (talk) 22:28, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Dunblane is refered to as a town since it has not received the Queen's authorisation to be a city as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Stirling, et cetera have. Under old Scots law Dunblane would be a city, but some sort of reforms in the last century removed that status. It might be the same reforms which removed Dunblane from being part of Perthshire; I'm not sure. Anyway, I've reverted everything except the River Allan thing, which was a valid edit.

The previous comment that Dunblane is "officially a city" is completely wrong. It is only considered a city by some (mainly the locals) because it has a cathedral. The fact it has a cathedral doesn't have any impact on its offical status. Proposal to change city to town. 129.215.76.45 (talk) 10:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Agreed - it's not a city, although the welcome sign says so. supercriminal (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] The Caldwell Brothers
Gary and Steven are not from Dunblane - they are from Stirling. 129.215.76.45 (talk) 10:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
