Golspie Beach
Highlands
Golspie Beach is a long, sandy beach at the east Sutherland town of Golspie, dominated by the looming presence of Dunrobin Castle to the north, the seat of the Dukes of Sutherland. The beach is wide, backed by dunes and woodland, and looks east across the Moray Firth. Dunrobin Castle and its formal gardens are open to visitors and make for an outstanding combined beach-and-castle day.
No dog restrictions apply at Golspie Beach. Year-round access.
