Drunk On Wanderlust has decided to incorporate a UK edition playlist, we spend so much time making videos abroad... we realised there are so many places here in the UK we haven't explored yet! We will be spending the next six months visiting some of the UK's holiday destinations and reporting back.
In this episode I was sent to a holiday park just outside Dornoch with work for a few weeks so decided to film a short video.
Places I visited
Dornoch Cathedral
Embo beach
Royal Dornoch Golf Course
Dornoch beach
Dunrobin Castle
Once again I was so limiyed with time, I never got round to seeing a lot of the local attractions and places of beauty. Hopefully I will be visiting again soon, then I can make another episode to include more information.
Do you know anyone who has visited or is thinking of visiting Dornoch?
Please share this video with them.
