1. Every summer Saturday, local pipe and drums and highland dancers march through the square and perform in front of the grand cathedral. The Dornoch Pipe Band is rated one of the top 5 small pipe bands in the world. When they attend competitions, the other local band, The Sutherland Caledonian, takes over. People enjoy their neighbors, children, dogs, and a bit of ice cream while cheering on the local talents.
2. The Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Golf links were first established here in 1616, not long after St. Andrews in 1552! The views are stunning from every hole, the tradition rich, and the golfers delightful!
3. History. From the cathedral to the castle to the home of Donald Ross, world-famous golf course designer, to the wonderful Historylinks Museum, Dornoch has so much to discover!
4. The beauty of the town with its juxtaposition of stone and flowers and the surrounding area–with easy access to the Northern Highlands.
5. Our house for August in Dornoch! On the way out of town is our rental home for the month.
