The Duke of Sutherland's former granary is one of six 18th century houses on the shores of Loch Fleet, a National Nature reserve.

Set apart from its neighbours in a secluded location, The Girnal is only five minutes from the village of Golspie. It is an ideal base for a party of friends or family wanting privacy without remoteness.

Sleeping 10 (in five rooms), The Girnal is superbly furnished with antique furniture and ancestral portraits. After a day's fishing or golfing you can relax by the wood-burning stove or open log-fire in one of the two sitting rooms.

Whether you are a walker, fisherman, ornithologist or golfer there is an enormous amount to see and do near The Girnal. For painters and photographers the northern seaside light is also highly unusual.
