Scotland: Dornoch

We spent a couple of days in Dornoch, four hours north of Edinburgh, with our friends Margot and Jimmy. Dornoch is a charming seaside town with a medieval cathedral, an accompanying bishop's palace, many charming houses and a famous golf course near the beach. For Rosamunde Pilcher fans, Dornoch appears in two novels (Winter Solstice and Wild Mountain Thyme) as Creegan. Pilcher has a holiday home in Dornoch and still comes and stays there, according to local folks.

The golf course hotel, where we ate dinner. Fabulous view of the sea.
