Farthingworth Farthingworth, Skelbo Street Sleeps up to 6 persons Available from £1050 per week By the sea Pet friendly Has a real fireplace WiFi available Details Farthingworth is an old traditional croft house, which has been tastefully restored and extended, with a superb contemporary wing to take the best advantage of the immense views achieved from this vantage point. A panorama of sea, sand banks and sky contrast with the Dunrobin Castle woodlands and mountains beyond. Ever changing with time and tide, the view is mesmerising; dazzling the eye when the tide is in or catching the huge numbers of seals on the sand banks when the tide is out. The choice of furnishings and fittings beautifully complements the environment in colour and texture, encompassing an outside/inside feel, which has created a most relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. It will be a hard place to tear yourself away from, but leave you must to sample what this popular area has to offer. Skelbo is a peaceful little hamlet of just a few houses, on a quiet back road, 10 minutes drive from Dornoch. Walking from the house is good and opens up a long coast walk to Dornoch or the Skelbo Forest walk nearby. With such easy access to the Sutherland hills and mountains, hill walkers have a good range of levels to choose from. There is excellent bird watching down on Loch Fleet, just a pleasant stroll, where Osprey are sometimes spotted over the loch. In addition to Royal Dornoch just down the road, there are several golf courses in the area including Tain, Golspie, Bonar Bridge and Brora. Dornoch has a huge sandy beach, which is safe for bathing, and is an attractive County Town with cafes, gift shops, stores and restaurants. For more shopping and larger supermarkets, Tain is not far away and Tesco and Asda will deliver to the house. Day trips to Caithness, the west coast and even Orkney are achievable from here, opening up much of the Northern Highlands for exploration.

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015

    Caithness and Sutherland Proposed Local Development Plan Committee Version November, 2015 Proposed CaSPlan The Highland Council Foreword Foreword Foreword to be added after PDI committee meeting The Highland Council Proposed CaSPlan About this Proposed Plan About this Proposed Plan The Caithness and Sutherland Local Development Plan (CaSPlan) is the second of three new area local development plans that, along with the Highland-wide Local Development Plan (HwLDP) and Supplementary Guidance, will form the Highland Council’s Development Plan that guides future development in Highland. The Plan covers the area shown on the Strategy Map on page 3). CaSPlan focuses on where development should and should not occur in the Caithness and Sutherland area over the next 10-20 years. Along the north coast the Pilot Marine Spatial Plan for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters will also influence what happens in the area. This Proposed Plan is the third stage in the plan preparation process. It has been approved by the Council as its settled view on where and how growth should be delivered in Caithness and Sutherland. However, it is a consultation document which means you can tell us what you think about it. It will be of particular interest to people who live, work or invest in the Caithness and Sutherland area. In preparing this Proposed Plan, the Highland Council have held various consultations. These included the development of a North Highland Onshore Vision to support growth of the marine renewables sector, Charrettes in Wick and Thurso to prepare whole-town visions and a Call for Sites and Ideas, all followed by a Main Issues Report and Additional Sites and Issues consultation.
