Day 9 John O’Groats to Dornoch

Slight change of plan today, decided against the Shepherds Hut and headed for Dornoch Hotel. Need more comfort!
Loved seeing the Highland bull looking over the fence as we ate breakfast in the B&B.

Fill your own bottle,  but beware it costs over £200!

Decided to have a tour of the distillery, £10 each and a thimble of Whisky at the end, plus I’m teetotal!
But it was very interesting.

Love the shape, not so sure about the smell!

Whisky stored in Bourbon or Sherry casks.


A short detour off our NC500route took us to the Grey Camster Cairns


Really interesting, but no way was I going inside!

Only about four foot high the entrances into a dark cairn


Again another short detour and we came across this shop that had been yarn bombed...I loved it!
Think it was in Helmsdale


Yet another distillery to get our passport stamped j
Chris had never heard of this brand, but apparently 95% goes to be mixed 

Driveway to Dunrobin Castle

Decided not to go on the tour, just got our Passport stamped and took a photo

View from our bedroom window this evening at Dornoch Hotel.
Love the view across the golf links to the sea.
