Cathedral Tower

Tuesday 27th May 2025 to Saturday 6th September 2025
A bird's eye view of Dornoch!

For a unique evening experience this summer, the historic Dornoch Cathedral Tower is open every Saturday from 24th May through to 6th September! Step back in time and soak in stunning panoramic views of Dornoch and the surrounding landscape from the town’s most iconic landmarks. Doors open at 7:30pm, with the final entry at 9pm—just in time to catch the magic of the setting sun from the top.

As an extra treat, the Dornoch Pipe Band will kick off their lively parade at 8pm, filling the evening air with the stirring sounds of traditional Scottish music. And new for this year, don’t miss St Gilbert’s Story—a fascinating glimpse into the life of the Cathedral’s founder, presented at the halfway point up the tower.

Tickets are just £5 for visitors and £3 for residents of the Parish. So come along, bring your friends and family, and enjoy a relaxed Saturday night filled with history, music, and unbeatable views.
