Dornoch Cathedral is a medieval ecclesiastical site located in Sutherland, in the far north of Scotland. The cathedral was founded in the thirteenth century and served as the seat of the Bishop of Caithness, representing one of the most important religious centres in the far north. The graveyard contains burials spanning several centuries and preserves evidence of the site's long use as a place of Christian burial. The cathedral itself, substantially rebuilt following damage in the sixteenth century, remains a significant example of late medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the Scottish Highlands.
