Loading...Every August, the Struie and Championship courses at Royal Dornoch turn a brilliant shade of pink for the annual Pinky Col Invitational. This friendly, team-based charity tournament sees players, caddies, and even local dogs dressed head-to-toe in pink to raise thousands of pounds for local Highland causes.
The 2026 event highlighted Dornoch’s tight-knit community spirit. Among the golfers was Lucas Matusik, one of our own ghost-tour guides, waving from the fairway in a loud pink shirt. With Royal Dornoch celebrating its new clubhouse, the 112th Carnegie Shield, and the upcoming 2028 Curtis Cup, the Pinky Col is a heartwarming reminder of how tourism directly supports this parish of 2,000 residents.
If you are visiting for golf, you can easily pair a morning on the links with an afternoon exploring the nine-century-old dornoch-cathedral and an evening with dornoch-tour. Book your evening walk online to support local guiding jobs and experience the historic streets of Dornoch under lantern light.
