Things to do in Dornoch – Spring & Easter

Why not escape to the Highlands in the Spring? Dornoch is arguably at its most beautiful in April and May, when the gorse and whin bushes burst into bright yellow bloom and perfume the air with their coconutty fragrance.

Golf

Local courses are regaining their quality after the winter – and demand is relatively low compared to the summer, so it’s easier to get the tee-time you want. There’s a wide variety of both links and heathland courses in the area, so base yourself in Dornoch and tick the likes of Brora and Golspie off your bucket list.

Farming Fun

For families, an escape to the Highlands during the Easter holidays is a perfect way to enjoy time with the children. For child-friendly things to do in Dornoch during Spring & Easter, take a look at Davochfin Farm’s live lambing events, farm tours, 9-hole pitch and putt and fishing lochs.

Beach Holiday

Dornoch and Embo beaches, with their miles of golden sands are perfect for walking – with or without man’s best friend. Brave people even say swimming in the crystal-clear blue sea is one of the best things to do in Dornoch during Spring & Easter time!
