Geocache Description:


Dornoch parish covers 53 square miles and includes the Royal burgh of Dornoch, the former fishing village of Embo, and nearly twenty crofting townships and hamlets. 
Dornoch is the parish's largest settlement as well as being the county town of Sutherland. Once the seat of the Diocese of Caithness, it still contains Scotland's smallest cathedral. 

 

The town and the surrounding area is steeped in history and is well worth exploring.

 

This cache will take you on a short walk around Dornoch, taking in some of the historical sights. The tour covers about a mile and will take you 30 minutes to an hour to complete. 

 

An excellent free car park is clearly signposted as you come into the centre of Dornoch from the West. It is ideally situated for the start of this tour. 

 

I hope you enjoy it and find it interesting.
