Overview

A favorite stop for roadtrippers making their way along the North Coast 500 driving route, the small Highland village of Brora is situated on a lovely stretch of Sutherland coastline. You can enjoy walks along the golden Brora Beach while keeping your eye out for dolphins, minke whales and seals. The village is a great base for enjoying the excellent golf courses in the area and it also lies along the 147-mile (237-kilometer) coastal walking route from Inverness to John o’ Groats, which traverses some of the Highland’s most scenic shorelines and cliff tops.

Where to go

Around the Town

Nestled in a sheltered site, just steps from the beach and with direct access to a golf course, the Brora Caravan Club Site offers grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. A five-minute drive north of Brora’s center, it's a great location for those who want to get out into nature and enjoy swimming, fishing or spotting marine wildlife.

Helmsdale

North of Brora, the little Highland village of Helmsdale is well-known for its excellent salmon fishing and is home to a dramatic statue commemorating the Highland Clearances. A 10-minute drive north of Brora, the Crakaig Loth Campsite is a basic site with space for tents, caravans and motorhomes.

Dornoch

Fifteen miles (24 kilometers) south of Brora, the elegant town of Dornoch is noted for both its fine architecture and its coastal scenery. Highlights include the 13th-century Dornoch Cathedral, nearby Dunrobin Castle and the Royal Dornoch, one of the best championship golf courses in Scotland. In the center of town, next to the golf course, Dornoch Caravan and Camping Park has plenty of electric and non-electric pitches for tourers and tents.

When to go

Most people visit between May and August in order to take advantage of long days and the best chance of sunny weather. The region does get busy in the summer months (especially July and August) with people touring the North Coast 500 driving route. Visiting in April or September is a good alternative as the crowds will be gone but the weather will likely still be mild. Winter visitors should note that days are short (the sun sets before 4 p.m. in December).
