  "connection_tips": "Dornoch Airfield is a scenic grass strip in Sutherland, Scotland. It is about a 10-minute walk from town and Royal Dornoch Golf Club. Many visitors simply walk into Dornoch after landing. For those needing to reach more distant locations or carrying heavy luggage, local taxi services like Dave's Taxi or MacKay's should be pre-booked, as there is no permanent taxi stand at the airfield.\n\nA unique connection tip is the availability of on-site bike hire, which provides a great way to explore the town and the scenic coastline of the Dornoch Firth. It is important to understand that there are no scheduled commercial airline services at DOC; all landings require Prior Permission Required (PPR) from the airfield management. For those needing commercial links, the nearest major hub is Inverness Airport (INV), about an hour's drive to the south. If you are flying privately, be aware that the grass runway (10/28) is well-maintained but can be sensitive to heavy rain; always check the latest conditions before departure.\n\nWithin the small, unmanned terminal area, amenities are minimal, providing only basic shelter. It is essential to be self-sufficient with food and water for your transition. Lastly, for those connecting to the rail network, Tain Railway Station is just a 15-minute taxi ride away, providing links to the North Highland Line.",

  "terminal_info": "Dornoch Airfield (DOC) is a historic and scenic aviation facility located on the Dornoch Links in Sutherland, Scotland. Serving as a premier general aviation gateway to the northern Highlands, the airfield is situated just a short walk from the center of the historic royal burgh of Dornoch. Its location is particularly favored by visiting aviators and golfers, as the airstrip lies adjacent to the world-renowned Royal Dornoch Golf Club and the expansive, sandy beaches of the Dornoch Firth.\n\nThe airfield has a significant wartime legacy, having been requisitioned in 1941 to serve as RAF Dornoch, a satellite landing ground for aircraft dispersal and storage during the Second World War. Today, the facility features a well-maintained grass runway, approximately 930 meters in length, which is capable of handling a variety of light aircraft and microlights. While it briefly hosted scheduled commercial services by Loganair in the late 1960s, its contemporary focus is entirely on supporting private pilots and providing an essential link for travelers exploring the North Coast 500 route.\n\nAs an unmanned facility, the terminal experience at Dornoch is functional and independent. A small terminal building provides basic shelter and administrative instructions for arriving pilots, though there are no on-site fuel, hangarage, or commercial dining facilities. To enhance the visitor experience, bike hire is often available directly at the aerodrome, allowing pilots to easily reach the town's local shops, cafes, and historic cathedral. Landing at DOC requires Prior Permission (PPR), and pilots are expected to be self-sufficient, reflecting the quiet and independent spirit of this Highland landing site.",
