In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Dornie like this:
Dornie, a fishing village in Kintail parish, Ross-shire, at the head of Loch Alsh, where it branches into Lochs Long and Duich, and in the vicinity of Castle-Donnan, 7½ miles S of Strome Ferry. It contains some good houses, and has a post office under Lochalsh, a girls' public school, and a ferry across the outlet of Loch Long.
