The Village takes its name from
Dunnottar Castle in Scotland. In 1903, a Canadian Pacific Railway station was built. It has since been turned into the Dunnottar Station Museum, which hosts railway artifacts and community items. In June 1947, it was announced that the area of current-day Village of Dunnottar would have a meeting to create the municipal government. The meeting was held at 177 McDermot Avenue in the
city of Winnipeg. Municipal elections were held later that year in November, officially becoming a
village as of 1 January 1948. in Winnipeg. == Demographics ==
