Luxury Hotel & Restaurant LUXURY HOTEL & RESTAURANT BESPOKE ELEGANT INTIMATE “As both a golfer and a salmon fisherman, and with Links House placed amongst some of the best rivers and courses in the country, I have just found my new Highland hideaway.” A Links House Guest Review, Tripadvisor WELCOME Links House at Royal Dornoch is about a journey to create a perfect locale, a perfect retreat and a perfect experience. The Links House experience extends well beyond golf. Our sincere hope is we afford you the opportunity to look deeper into the Highlands. Yes there is amazingly charming, strategic golf here but there is also stunning history, country sport, wildlife, restaurants, people, coastlines and so much more. Here you can feel the history of the Highlands in your bones, smell the ages in the cool, seaside air, view the purple heather upon the mountains and taste spring in the scent of whin bloom. It is about being ‘in the moment’ for more than just a moment. Enjoy early morning journal writing at your bedroom desk, quiet afternoon tea in our sitting room, single malt at sunset on our putting green, and tranquil evenings reading by the fire in our library. If it is country sport and activities you seek we offer an abundance of the highest quality - perhaps the finest links golf in the world - as well as cycling, fishing, hiking, riding, shooting, stalking and walking. Like the river’s claim on the salmon’s heart, these are the reasons to return to Links House year after year. So come visit, feel the history, play this wondrous course and experience the Highlands. Come home to Links House at Royal Dornoch. Todd and Liz Warnock Proprietors “Our aim at Links House has been to create a perfect retreat and afford you the opportunity to look deeper into the wonders of the Scottish Highlands well beyond perhaps the finest natural links golf course in the world.” PUBLIC SPACES, GROUNDS & GARDENS The accommodation at Links House is inspiring artwork and a large wood everything you would expect from one burning hearth, offers dramatic views “The luxury of a bespoke of the world’s finest luxury hotels. across the 1st championship tee. small hotel with intimate Our public quarters epitomise a Outside you’ll find flower and public spaces and gardens, sophisticated country manor house, herb gardens and benches inviting set virtually on the 1st tee at whilst the grounds and gardens conversation.

    Hello As we fast approach the Christmas break we would like to take a little time to reflect on the successes and achievements of our whole school community. Many of our children, young people and colleagues have received recognition for their creativity and hard work. A special congratulations should be made to Dr Allan for his international work. Well done also to Joan Murray at Bonar Bridge Primary who received Public Servant of the Year award, and also to Howard Tolliday for his recent recognition in the UK Salters' National Awards for Science Technicians. Finally, I would also like to extend a special thank you to our brilliant librarian, Fiona Macleod, who is always looking for new and creative ways of engaging children and young people in reading. The atmosphere in the library is wonderful and it is great to see so many young people interested in books. Fiona’s work has been complemented by our primary school teachers who have been presenting lively and engaging assemblies over the last few months. The children are developing their confidence in public speaking and this will support their studies and aspirations later in their school and career pathways. It was great to see so many of you at the recent family event and we welcome your feedback on how we can continue to develop events and activities which support our partnership and learning at home. If you are interested in presenting or running an event please do not hesitate to contact us. In S3, we hope to meet many of you on Tuesday 3 December during our Learner Journey Review Event which will run from 9.00 am until 7.00 pm.

    13 Courses in 13 days: A golfing experience across the Land of Saltire By Javier Pintos On May 22nd I left Buenos Aires on a trip that in the company we believe is the seed for many more golf trips to “The Home of Golf”. Although we have been in the past to Scotland and we have sold the destination for the past 4 years, this trip was a stronger bet as we were leading a 34 golfers party and we added some more days at three new destinations we had not visited yet (Inverness, Aberdeen and East Lothian) and which we believe deserve to be considered when travelling to The Saltire for a golf trip. Scotland offers not only links golf at the highest level but a lot more for devoted golfers: playing courses were golf oldest Major Championship has been played, visiting places with over 200 years of history with our game and walking along towns that breath golf in every corner. Our first three days were in East Lothian playing Gullane no.1, Muirfield (The Honorable Company of Edimburgh Golfers) and North Berwick using it as a Fam Trip trying to discover every secret of this area in order to be able to tell our customers what to expect when visiting this corner of the country. And we believe it holds one of the biggest advantages: you are so close to Edimburgh that you can go after golf to walk the city, have dinner or just discover Murrayfield, the first Rugby Museum in the world. The golfing tour was about to start, it was an intense journey throught 13 classic venues, playing them, taking pictures, glancing at every detail and breathing golf in every step.

  • 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.
