Dornoch



         


Dornoch is a royal burgh and seaside resort in Sutherlandshire on the east coast of the Scottish Highlands, and the north shore of the Dornoch Firth.

The town boasts the thirteenth-century Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail and a famous golf course. It is also notable as the last place a witch was burnt in Scotland. Her name was Janet Horne; she was tried and condemned to death in 1727. There is a stone, the Witch's Stone, commemorating her death, inscribed with the year 1722.
