Mike's off playing at Nairn today. So I took three walks with my camera.
One circular around town center of Dornoch. Then it rained.
The second rambling the golf course. Then it poured.
The third down Castle Street to fetch dinner. It rained.
BUT while walking home, a double rainbow.
Good things come to those who wait?
This is normal in Scotland. Changeable weather.
Tons of photos today.
At the end is a slew of "Doors of Dornoch." I know it has been done to death. Here's yet one more.
Graveyard on our Golf Road. Walk past it every day. Reminds you that life is sweet.
Right across the street from graveyard is profusion of colors.
Green man on Dornoch Cathedral.
From inside Cathedral's cemetary.
Stained glass windows can be nifty from the outside as well.
Plaiden El, the standard of measure for cloth from 1500's.
Blue skies have appeared. That's the new clock on cathedral spire.
Dornoch Castle Hotel, was Bishops home for 700 years.
Flowers in Dornoch town center.
Then I turned west, into the gorse and woods above the golf course.
The Earl's Cross. This is from 1600's, showing the border point of the lands of the Earl of Sutherland and the Bishop of Caithness.
Wild Blackberries are at the end of their season.
View over our back yard wall. That's the starter's cottage in the center up on the hill, with a few people standing on the tee. Dornoch clubhouse is on the left.
And the highlight of the day - a double rainbow.
The Cathedral, in the sunlight.
A gate is legally a door, to me.

Dornoch's Mercat Cross, only a column. Granted by King in 1500's, it meant Dornoch was a Royal Burgh, could hold official Market Days, do international trade, send representatives to court, etc.
Looking west down Castle Street, the main street of Dornoch.

Second walk, onto the golf course.
Then I turned west, into the gorse and woods above the golf course.
The Earl's Cross. This is from 1600's, showing the border point of the lands of the Earl of Sutherland and the Bishop of Caithness.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I,
I took the one less traveled...
Wild Blackberries are at the end of their season.
Back into the neighborhood. Grange Road.
Exists there a man who doesn't pause to appreciate a white rose in bloom?
View over our back yard wall. That's the starter's cottage in the center up on the hill, with a few people standing on the tee. Dornoch clubhouse is on the left.
Third walk. Starts out brilliantly sunny. Gull on top of Free Methodist Church.
Plaid goes with everything in Scotland.
And the highlight of the day - a double rainbow.
The Cathedral, in the sunlight.
Now for the DOORS OF DORNOCH
A gate is legally a door, to me.
A gate PLUS a door.
Our next door neighbor, the Lawn Bowling Club.
Home.
