LOCATION
The Royal Burgh of Dornoch is a historic town on the route of the NC500 scenic drive around the North Highlands. World renowned for its Championship Golf Course, Dornoch is the centre of East Sutherland's increasingly popular golf paradise which includes the iconic courses of Brora, Golspie and Tain as well as Dornoch's second course the Struie. Dornoch is ideally placed for outdoor activities and the area is famed for its beautiful coastline, award winning beach and high quality of life. The town itself has a good range of shops, restaurants and services including a health centre as well as a primary school and Academy. There is a squash court, gym and MUGA available in the town centre.
The Dornoch Firth is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. As well as being popular with golfers the area attracts walkers and cyclists. First class stalking and salmon fishing are available on nearby estates and rivers. Loch Fleet Nature Reserve is close by and the stunning north-west Highlands, often referred to as the last great wilderness in Europe, containing some of the most beautiful beaches and mountains in Scotland, are also easily accessible. There is a train station across the Dornoch bridge in Tain connecting to daily mainline services which run from Inverness to London and the South. Inverness, 45 miles to the south, has all the facilities of a modern city including an airport with twice-daily flights to London, and regular flights to other UK and European destinations.
