Thursday, July 21, 2011, Ken and Teddy arrived in the Royal burgh town of Dornoch Scotland, located north of Inverness, on the North Sea. Royal Dornoch is a picturesque and historic village, and designated a National Scenic Area in Scotland. Popular with tourists and royalty for decades, people visit to enjoy the scenery, climate, and laid-back way of life.

They stayed at Highfield House, a luxury Michelin rated B & B within walking distance to the Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Ken said the accommodations were first class.

Also close by to the Glenmorangie distillery - Neil's favorite single malt scotch whiskey.
Ken chose this destination so that he and Teddy could play golf at the Royal Dornoch Golf Club. The course is located on the edge of the ocean.

Ken emailed me last night to say: "Just wrapping up our vist here and heading down to Glasgow now. Played lots of golf - 4 rounds now. The best course I have ever played was Royal Dornock - incredible with the ocean setting, the heather, the sand traps, and the condition of the course. Saw Loch Ness, highland cattle, more castles, and tried many ales. Weather has been almost perfect. The GPS has made driving bearable, although the roundabouts are a struggle and seem to be everywhere."
