Welcome to Dornoch

The Royal Burgh of Dornoch is a burgh and seaside resort in Sutherland, Highland, on the east coast of the Scottish Highlands, and the north shore of the Dornoch Firth.
Dornoch boasts the thirteenth-century Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail and a notable golf course, the Royal Dornoch Golf Club, the 5th best golf course outwith the United States according to Golf Digest magazine. It is also notable as the last place a witch was burnt in Scotland. Her name was Janet Horne; she was tried and condemned to death in 1727. There is a stone, the Witch's Stone, commemorating her death, inscribed with the year 1722. Legendary golf course designer Donald Ross began his career as a greenkeeper on the Royal Dornoch links.
