In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Dornie like this:
Dornie, a fishing village in Kintail parish, Ross-shire, at the head of Loch Alsh, where it branches into Lochs Long and Duich, and in the vicinity of Castle-Donnan, 7½ miles S of Strome Ferry. It contains some good houses, and has a post office under Lochalsh, a girls' public school, and a ferry across the outlet of Loch Long.
Dornie is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dornie itself, go to Statistics.
