Exploring Dornoch

We had three nights, therefore two full days, at Helmsdale. Having spent the first day mostly in the car, we didn’t want to drive so far on the second day, so we set off south towards Dornoch. On the way we stopped off for a walk along the sea front at Golspie, and to use the Changing Places Toilet, before having a picnic in the car at the Nature Reserve on the southern shore of Loch Fleet. There were plenty of birds to see, and a seal or two kept us entertained.

Dornoch is a pleasant town where we spent a happy afternoon in the small museum, the tiny cathedral and the shops. Racheal chose a book of Scottish folk tales which we have slowly been making our way through since.

Back at the hostel, there was time to relax outside in the sunshine before starting on the evening meal and time consuming preparations of medicines, feeds and other medical stuff which take up much of our time when we’re not out exploring!
