Dornoch is a Royal Burgh town on the east coast of Scotland in Sutherland. The name is thought to be derived from the Gaelic ''Dorn Eich'', meaning a horse's foot or hoof; it references the legend that a Danish warlord was killed by William, Thane of Sutherland, who, finding himself disarmed in battle, took up a horse's severed leg and dispached his foe.
