Visit Scotland have released a new film in response to the Corona Virus Crisis. We echo the sentiments expressed entirely. These are difficult times. Although for now we must stay apart, we look forward to exploring the hills and mountains of Scotland once again and welcoming visitors back to Dornoch soon. #stayhome #traveltomorrow
See the film on their YouTube channel here.
Comment from Visit Scotland
"We are all learning how precious life is in these difficult times. Life is enjoying a meal with friends and family. Life is roaming in the mountains and glens or relaxing by the seaside. Life is the excitement of exploring a new city or town. No one knows what the future holds, but we are all in this struggle together. We must live apart to save lives, for now. Let this distance bring us closer."

In the growing Coronavirus pandemic, it is with regret that we must ask our loyal visitors to stay at home and not come to your beloved Dornoch until the crisis has passed.
We know you care for our town and community so will honour our request. There are fewer than 3,000 people in IV25 and our medical services are geared to that population. Raigmore Hospital serves the Highland population of 320,000 and only has 7 ICU beds. Our medical resources will be stretched. People will die. Please help us by not adding to our ‘temporary’ population this year
If you have a holiday booked between now and 31 May this year, please contact your provider and re book for later in the year or next year.
We do rely on your custom and want to welcome you back as soon as it is safe to do so.
Keep well and look after the people in your own community. We will try and do the same. In the meantime we will keep posting photos to give you a Dornoch ‘fix’.
We look forward to seeing you once this is all over.

Scotland is well known across the world for it's RAIN! But did you know that Dornoch and the area around the Moray coast has the same level of rainfall as the South East of England?!
As most of Scotland's wind and wild weather comes from the Atlantic on the South West Coast, we are pretty sheltered by the hills and mountains between.
The East coast is also blessed with plenty of sunshine (and many more hours of light in the Summertime than anywhere else in the UK!) and very few midgies too which is another big bonus.
So come and enjoy some beautiful weather this Spring or Summer and stay with us in Dornoch
