Is it safe to go to Dornoch? Is Dornoch open for business? These are some of the many questions we have been asked through our Visit Dornoch Facebook Page and the answer is a big YES. Dornoch is open for business and you can Dine, Dream and Discover safely in Dornoch, so why not visit us this winter?
As a small town in the Highlands of Scotland where tourism is our main business, we take our responsibility very seriously to keep our visitors, our community and our staff safe. We spent a lot of time in lockdown learning about the cleaning protocols and carrying out risk assessments to make sure we were ready to welcome self-catering visitors on 3rd July and then to open all hospitality as regulations allowed.
We worked with our community to understand their concerns and developed the Dornoch Visitor Charter 2020 and businesses signed up for the ‘We’re Good to Go’ quality assurance scheme launched in June – look out for the sign
We support the Scottish Government’s FACTS
Face covering must be worn in shops, and when moving around in cafes and restaurants
Avoid crowded places – come back later when there is no queue – book a table ahead of your visit!
Clean hands and surfaces regularly – use the hand sanitiser provided by all businesses
Two metres is the social distancing rule
Self-isolate and book a test if you have COVID 19 symptoms
When visiting Dornoch you may find some shops have a limit to how many can enter at one time, others may have markers on the floor to help show you how much distance to keep. It is the little things that go a long way, and this is something that all of our businesses have got behind to ensure visitors, staff and locals feel safe at all times. You are always assured of a warm (but socially distanced) welcome!
