Dunrobin Castle and Dornoch

We left Dingwall in light rain to join the A9 north to Dornoch, a small city with a cathedral, on the coast. Rosemary stayed here 50 years ago with the Sheep Dog Society. It had not changed much, we had lunch in the old joal now a nice bistro. Took the old road out of Dornoch, very picturesque with big swathes of golden gorse on the hillsides. The rain had stopped and the sun was out again by now.
Next stop was Dunrobin Castle the locatipn of the Sheep Dog trial. We did a tour of the castle and gardens before going to the nearby CMC site at Brora. It's close to the beach, just a golf course away in fact. Walking across the course I  disturbed a skylark in the rough which took flight and burst into song high above me. We can hear the sea breaking on the  beach at night. Rosemary did some laundry while we had a few hours to spare.
