Location
Rosebank House is situated in a small hamlet on the edge of the Dornoch Firth National Scenic Area and close to the Royal Burgh of Dornoch, a historic town boasting ancient Cathedral and world-famous Championship Links Golf Course. Famed for its beautiful coastline, sandy beaches and dry climate, the area is much loved by golfers, walkers, ornithologists and cyclists. First class shooting, stalking and salmon fishing is available on nearby estates. The town itself has a good range of shops and services, including a health centre, primary school and academy. Tain provides a wider selection of shops, including two large supermarkets, and for a more comprehensive range of amenities, Inverness is around 41 miles distant and well within commuting range.
