Spinningdale is a hamlet on the north shore of the Dornoch Firth, an estuary lying between the counties of Ross-shire and Sutherland in the north of Scotland.  Briarhill House sits on an elevated, south-facing site, sheltered by its generous grounds and with stunning views over the Dornoch Firth and to the hills of Wester Ross.  The current owners have recently upgraded the house to create a comfortable and well-appointed family home, with a bright interior and retaining many original features.

This area of Sutherland is known for its beautiful coastline, lush countryside and dry climate.  The region enjoys continued growth and prosperity and yet retains its unspoilt charm and sense of community.  There are a wealth of opportunities available for the outdoor enthusiast including walking, hill climbing, golf and sailing as well as the traditional rural sports of fishing and shooting. 

Briarhill House is situated 8 miles from Dornoch, an historic town and home of the famous Royal Dornoch Golf Club, a champion links course much sight after by golfers from around the world.  The town also has a useful range of shops and amenities, including schooling up to secondary level, as well as its beautiful cathedral and award winning beach and famous Royal Dornoch Golf Club.  Nearby Tain and Alness have supermarkets, while Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and summer flights to Europe.
