4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2012

A really lovely Cathedral set in the centre of beautiful Dornoch. It looks larger on the outside but inside is fairly small but very interesting.

“Madonna got married here!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

As you stand inside Dornoch Castle you get a sense of its history. While it is only really famous for Madonna's wedding, it is well worth a visit, because it has a lovely atmosphere
