Dornoch Distillery
Multi-awarding-winning distillers and independent bottlers
Dornoch Distillery launched a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2016, producing multi-award-winning gin and independent bottling whisky, rum, brandy and world whiskies.
Dornoch Distillery produces approximately 12,000 litres of alcohol a year, making it one of the smallest whisky distilleries in Scotland. The distillery started whisky production in 2017 using heritage barley, spent brewer’s yeast and longer fermentation times to develop a whisky style that resembles an older style of whisky and produces a spirit with a great depth of flavour.
Due to the size of the distillery, there are no tours available.

North Coast 500
SCOTLAND’S VERY OWN ‘ROUTE 66’
Scotland’s very own ‘Route 66’ has been developed with the aim to showcase the stunning coast of the Scottish Highlands. The route consists of just over 500 miles beginning in Inverness and loping round the coast. Instead on the long, flat drive of Route 66 you are swept along the windy and steep single track roads of rural Scotland, bringing you passed many a Castle and beach to entice you. With plenty of enchanting towns and villages along the way and just off the track there is something to suit all on this route.
