Dornoch and Dunrobin Castle

A trip to Dornoch and Dunrobin Castle makes for a great day out.

Dornoch is a very pretty town with historic buildings hewn from the local sandstone and a wonderful beach.

Dornoch Castle, in the centre of town, is now a hotel. Its neighbour, the old jail, is now a retail outlet, Jail Dornoch, selling quality clothing and accessories over two floors. There are also numerous independent shops including a hardware store and antiques shop.

Opposite is the magnificent Dornoch Cathedral, open to visitors during daylight hours. 

Eat out at Luigi or pick up a takeaway at Surf and Turf to eat on the expansive golden beach.
