Royal Dornoch is a picturesque and historic village, and designated a National Scenic Area in Scotland.

Popular with tourists and royalty for decades, people visit to enjoy the scenery, climate, and laid-back way of life.


These are some local attractions you may want to visit during your stay at Highfield House:

The Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Golf has been a way of life here for centuries. King James IV of Scotland probably played here, and Tom Watson, before winning one of his Opens, came to play a round, played three and said he had never had so much fun on a golf course in his life.

Dornoch has two unforgettable courses, and there are many more fine courses in the area, so remember to pack your clubs!

Dunrobin Castle
The most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland.

Dornoch Cathedral
Just a short walk from Highfield, this historic 13th century Church is at the heart of Dornoch village.
