== North Nairnville == Media:Exae.ogg mpl Re Nairn as formally 'North Nairnville' : this seems to need a supporting reference and some indication of dates. Laurel Bush 16:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC).
Yes I'd agree, it seemed like an Americanism to me at first! Fraslet 16:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
It just seems very suspicious and I tend to think that it's not correct, the only links mentioning that name appear to be drawing their data from the Nairn page itself and are not independent sources. There are certainly other places with similar names in the general area e.g. Barbaraville and Jemimaville. Fraslet 11:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
There is a large sandstone railway viaduct crossing the Nairn Valley.Wadamsgn 00:49, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North Nairnville
i was sure that it was formally invernairn and this website seams to suggest simmilar. http://www.nairnscotland.co.uk/VFounder.html
I guess the term or expression North Nairnville has origins abit like those of Englandshire. I am about to remove it (again) from the article. I am ready to accept, however, that if placed in meaningful context then it may have some right to be amongst the article's content. Perhaps the term has been used as a jibe in local media and someone will be able to furnish references. Also, remember the article is not now primarily about the former (abolished and extinguished) burgh which was in the north of the former county. Laurel Bush 14:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC).
The North Nairnville name keeps coming back again and again, there is no evidence I can find for this assertion, it looks like bag grammar, does the person mean formally or formerly, we may never know as they won't discuss the matter. Fraslet 16:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sun, Sex and Tramps
The paragraph that says Nairn is the sunniest town in Scotland, best place for outdoor sex, holiday location for Charlie Chaplin... was added in its entirety in an early edition of this page [1]. According to the Met Office[2], Tiree is the sunniest place in Scotland. Its probably fairer to change this to 'claimed by the tourist board to be...'. The Tatler factoid isn't mentioned in any source that isn't taken from Wikipedia - and even if Tatler's archives arent online, a salacious tidbit like that would have been brought up at some point by one of the media sources that are. I'd just delete that. And Charlie Chaplin - this part is apparently true (he appears to have stayed in the Newton Hotel, which now boasts a Chaplin Bar, Chaplin Suite, Chaplin Bistro and Chaplin Conservatory - not that they're playing up their connection or anything). However it all needs better references. --Bazzargh (talk) 12:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Split
This article seems to be talking about two different things: the council area and the town within the council area. There must be other places in the council area as well.
Maybe this should also become a disambiguation page. Simply south (talk) 20:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
There is a Nairn ward and the Highland Council's Nairn management area but there is no Nairn council area (statutory local government area) comparable to Highland, Argyll and Bute, Aberdeenshire etc. Historically there was a Nairn district (a statutory local government area) of the Highland region, but that district was abolished in 1996.

[edit] Proposed merger, County of Nairn into Nairn (government and administration boundaries)
The county is now quite historic. The local government county became a district (with the boundaries of the former county) of the Highland region in 1975 and the district was merged into the unitary Highland local government area in 1996. Laurel Bush (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2008 (UTC).
