Dornoch - 3

Here we see Dornoch Cathedral.



Dornoch used to be connected to the main railway network at The Mound via a light railway. The railway was opened on 2 June 1902. Stations on the line were Dornoch, Embo, Skelbo, Cambusavie Halt and The Mound Junction. The stations were closed on 13 June 1960.

On 21 December 2000, the pop star Madonna had her son Rocco christened in Dornoch Cathedral, the day before her wedding to Guy Ritchie in nearby Skibo Castle.

On 13 January 2005, Dornoch was granted Fairtrade Town status.

I am delighted to announce that The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are due to have lunch today at Stirling Castle.

I had a long chat with the Provost of Inverness yesterday - in the food hall of Marks and Spencer!
