Welcome to Dornoch Tour
Home of the Dornoch Ghost Tour — an atmospheric evening walk through the shadowy corners of one of Scotland's most storied little towns.
Dornoch sits quietly on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the heart of Sutherland, and once the sun dips behind the Cathedral spire, this place takes on a very different character. The medieval streets grow hushed, the wynds and closes fall into shadow, and centuries of history start to feel remarkably close at hand. That's when our Dornoch Ghost Tour begins.
From the Cathedral square to the site of Scotland's last witch burning, we'll walk you through the tales, tragedies and unexplained happenings that have shaped Dornoch since Norse and medieval times — told properly, on the very spots where they unfolded.
