A salt-scented wind meets the minivan as you pull out of Inverness at 9:00 a.m., the city shrinking behind you and the open Highlands unfurling ahead. The drive follows quieter back roads—hedgerows, peat-cut slopes and lochs flashing silver—aching toward the Dornoch Firth where “Millionaire’s View” pauses the journey: a wide sweep of water and shoreline that seems to dare you to slow down.
