About Spinningdale

Spinningdale is a small Highland village on the Dornoch Firth's northern shore, reached via the A949 from either Dornoch or Bonar Bridge. The A9 provides the main access route, with Inverness about an hour south. The village sits in Sutherland's gentle coastal landscape, sheltered by the firth's inland position. Spinningdale was once home to an 18th-century cotton mill, an unusual piece of early industrial history in this remote Highland setting.
