Whitland (in Welsh: Hen-dy-Gwyn; literal transalation: 'Old White House') is a small town in Carmarthenshire, west Wales, lying on the River Taf. Whitland is famous as the site of the first Welsh parliament, called in 930 by Hywel of Deheubarth, which drew up the Law of Wales.
The town is also home to a secondary school (Ysgol Dyffryn Taf), a museum, and a wide variety of sporting grounds. Its main industry was a dairy, but it was closed in 1994.
