As David has noted above, the Golf Links Hotel nearly adjoins the course, and less than a mile away is the Golspie Inn which has fourteen rooms at reasonable rates. With Whitaker and four others already hunkered down in Brora and me at the Stone's Throw, I think there is virtually enough accommodation for the entire cadre within the friendly confines of Golspie. There's a very nice B & B in Golspie, The Granite Villa, that is located halfway between the Golspie Inn and the Golf Links. There are at least three rooms available as singles or twins.
Bearing in mind that being ten miles from Golspie along the A9 is nothing compared to distances half that in southern England and Cornwall. Not to mention Holland.
