Head to the beach
The unspoilt beaches around Dornoch are perfect for kids, provided the Scottish weather is kind to you! The town's beach stretches from Dornoch itself to the Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve, where the whole family can enjoy birdwatching throughout the year, or spotting seals and otters during the summer months. Tain Through Time is a fascinating interactive museum that brings history alive for young children; visitors can meet figures from the past, touch historical artefacts, and try their hand at traditional crafts. Alternatively, get up close with local wildlife by taking a ride on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with EcoVentures in Cromarty. Their trips take you out to the Black Isle in the Cromarty Firth, a great place for spotting dolphins and other sea creatures.
Experience Dornoch's history

Madonna, who married Guy Ritchie at the nearby Skibo Castle, had her son, Rocco, christened at Dornoch Cathedral. Find out about the more distant past of Dornoch Cathedral and the town itself at Historylinks Museum, which tells Dornoch's story, from the Picts and Vikings to modern times. The luxurious Dunrobin Castle, much more like a palace than a fortress, boasts 189 rooms filled with historic artworks and artefacts. Visitors can also explore its the stunning landscaped gardens.
