Dornoch GB

Dornoch perches on Sutherland's coast where the firth meets the North Sea, enjoying an unexpectedly sunny microclimate courtesy of the Gulf Stream. The A949 links directly to the A9 at Dornoch Bridge, putting Inverness just over an hour away and making this a natural Highland touring base. With roughly 13 public fast chargers dotted about, it's well-sorted for electric vehicles tackling the northern routes. The 13th-century cathedral houses Scotland's last witch-burning victim from 1727.
