   Brora Harbour The small harbour is well worth visiting, and relaxing. It is not just for the fishermen and the boats. It is possible to see Gray Seals around the harbour mouth, Otters are also seen in the harbour.

   Clynelish Distillery The distillery can be found just off the A9 as it heads north out of Brora. The distillery itself is some distance to your left as you drive this road.

   St Andrews Church – The church stands in the village, and is an 18th century Scottish reformed church. It has a lovely oak pulpit, and pine lofts, locals believe that this church has one of the finest examples of a ‘Laird's Loft' you are likely to find.

   Dunrobin Castle – The castle is just north of the lovely village of Golspie, it is the ancestral home of the Duke of Sutherland. You may find the history of this castle well documented locally. The ukes monument known as the ‘Mannie’ stands on top of the ‘Ben Bhraggie’ overlooking the village.

   Golspie Events – This is a community which is well organised, and there are regular local events. Check this out each time you are in Golspie, it may surprise you, and you will receive a warm welcome.
