I came across these talented lassies, Isla and Lucy, busking on the main street in Dornoch. What a duo!

This jolly sentiment displayed outside the pub....

The beautiful town of Dornoch is home to an historic cathedral and castle with much besides. Its streets are lined with honey coloured stone houses and fragrant old fashioned roses tumble over sun drenched stone walls.

A short stay at Dornoch, in the Northern Highlands of Scotland, where I came upon these talented lassies; Isla and Lucy.

We will not be opening the Heritage Centre during 2021.

We've taken the difficult decision to remain closed due to the continuing concerns regarding public health.

To take a positive from it all we will also be renovating the building to future proof the Centre for many years to come.

The grounds will remain open for those who wish to look at the local and Commonweath graves.

For those managing to visit the area remember to check our linked sites of interest via our site page

The Neil Gunn Trust (a registered charity promoting the works of one of Scotland’s greatest writers) has recently created a facebook page. Gunn was a highlander and the highlands feature strongly in his writing. The page already holds a number of interesting articles and files, with more to follow. For many, his writing has served as an introduction to the Scottish and particularly highland history, literature and culture, the schooling of which was denied to generations of Scots. The Trust extends a warm invitation to follow the page. Thank you.

Some amazing photographs from Orkney. The photographer,Mark who is also on Insta, shows the alignment of the stones with the rising sun as we come up to the Winter Solstice.

One thing we’re constantly asked is “What culturally separates the Scots from the rest of the World?”

Of course whisky, kilts, haggis, deep fried Mars Bars and broon each have their effect on our culture, but you can’t ignore the power of Irn Bru ....

Dinna fash, it’s available worldwide now!
