The sale is being handled by Knight Frank’s partner, David Reid, who commented: "I have sold Royal Dornoch Hotel which attracted huge levels of interest and sold within a matter of a couple of weeks of coming on the market. With its amazing history dating from the 15th Century there is no question that Dornoch Castle Hotel will receive similar International interest and, the fact that it is trading very well with exceptional profits will appeal to a huge variety of buyers.

"Our asking price of £2.5 million pounds for this charming hotel with huge amounts of historical interest is already attracting interest and I have received a few calls from America and London within only days of going on the market."

Colin Thompson commented: "With 25 rooms, restaurant, bar and lovely gardens we have considered a major extension development ourselves but realistically Roselyn and myself are so involved in other projects and have absolutely loved developing Dornoch Castle into exactly what it is today perhaps now is the time to move on."
