Dornoch is 2 miles off the A9 which is the main trunk route to the North of Scotland. Over the last few years, the A9 has undergone several improvements making the journey to Dornoch a very easy and pleasant one. While the main coastal roads are excellent, if you are touring in the area you will, at times, find yourself on rather narrow roads with passing places. Dornoch is around 4 hours driving time from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen, and it's less than 1 hour from Inverness. In relation to the rest of the Highlands we are around 2 hours from John O Groats in the far north or indeed the Isle of Skye.

There is an airport at Inverness, and we can arrange to have you collected or assist with car hire for the duration of your stay.

Inverness, 45 miles away, has a main line rail service connecting with all main UK cities. It is also the terminus for the London/Inverness sleeper service which should be booked well in advance of your visit. Again we can arrange to collect you or assist with car hire for the duration of your stay.

Dornoch has a good bus service to the North and South (changing at Inverness) with a bus stop 5 minutes' walk from the Divot.
