Highland Wildcat Trails

Voted as “Best Destination in the UK” by Mountain Bike Rider magazine, Highland Wildcat offers trails for all abilities that link directly to Golspie village and its local services.

National Cycle Route

The Sutherland stretch of the National Cycle Route passes through Golspie, Lairg, Tongue, Melvich, Kinbrace and Helmsdale. The route continues north through Caithness via Helmsdale, Kinbrace, Melvich, Thurso and John O’Groats.

Golf

Great courses within easy reach: Skibo Castle, Tain, Golspie, Brora, Bonar Bridge and the most famous of all, Royal Dornoch. The Championship course, rated 16th in the world, is classic links, with the first 8 holes following the natural grades of the old dune embankments, while the remainder skirts the sandy beaches of Dornoch Bay.

Salmon and Sea Trout fishing

This is available on Loch Brora (boat fishing only) approximately 40 minutes drive from Dornoch.

Troutquest

TroutQuest offers fly fishing holidays for salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout at our base in Ross-shire, and guided excursions throughout the Northern Highlands

Wild Brown Trout fishing

Good quality brown trout are available on Loch Buidhe with smaller fish on Loch Lagain, both lochs enjoying fine scenery and good sport. Bank fishing can be as productive, should it be too windy for the boat.

Cromarty Sailing Club

Even if you have never sailed, and feel that you do not want to commit in case you discover you don’t like sailing, why not contact the club and try sailing for free.
