"Riverside Cottage" is a beautifully renovated, traditional crofting cottage situated in Rearquhar, 4 miles from Dornoch.

It is perfect as a peaceful retreat for those seeking an "away from it all" holiday and as a base for scenic drives, touring the Highlands, and enjoying the wildlife.

The numerous golf courses in the region are superb and include the world famous Dornoch Links Course.

Loch and river fishing is varied and excellent, and the sea angling from boat or shore is well worth experiencing.

To the west and southwest are the Tropical Gardens at Inverewe, the scenic splendour of Loch Maree and the picturesque fishing port of Ullapool with it's ferry link to Stornoway.

Closer is Loch Shin and the famous Falls of Shin where salmon can be seen leaping at certain times of year.

To the north is the Kyle of Tongue, Bettyhill, Naver Bay and a multitude of sandy coves set between rocky headlands.

Within an approximate 25 mile radius are Dunrobin Castle, Liath Brochs, Hilton of Cadboll Chapel, Balnagowan Castle and Dunbeath Castle.

The Dornoch Firth is famed for it's vast stretches of clean, sandy beaches.

Dornoch is approximately 43 miles from the Highland capital of Inverness.

The Village of Drumnadrochit with it's Loch Ness Visitor Centre is a further 14 miles, the road hugging the shores of this world famous loch.

The ruins of Urquhart Castle on route to Drumnadrochit are well worthy of a visit.

The views of Loch Ness from the castle grounds are spectacular and a great many sightings of the famous "Loch Ness Monster" have been made from the castle grounds.
