The 5 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Thurso, Scotland

Wolfburn is the northernmost whisky distillery in mainland Scotland. Building work commenced in 2012 and Wolfburn was reopened after some 150 years in early 2013. At Wolfburn we don’t have a visitors centre so when you visit you’ll see the inner workings of the distillery itself, where our master craftsmen make single malt whisky the way it should be made: with care and without haste. Tours finish with a tasting of our various malts, and there’s the opportunity to buy bottles and Wolfburn merchandise.

Opening times for 2021 are to be confirmed. We are open daily from 1st May to 30th September however we will be closed from late July to the beginning of August. These dates are subject to change so please keep up to date on our website for the most recent information.

Promoting the north of Scotland. We have a wealth of knowledge about the walking, wildlife and general information about the North. Dunnet Head is the focal point of the North Highland Way.

Castletown Heritage Society is a community group established in 1986 'To preserve the character, history and traditions of the Village of Castletown and Parish of Olrig’. We are based at Castlehill Heritage Centre which is a well-established, highly successful, heritage themed four-star visitor attraction and educational resource. We deliver regularly changed heritage themed exhibitions, displays and an ever expanding range of vernacular skills based workshop experiences, such as dry-stone dyking, metal smithing, rope making, croft crafts, spinning, pottery and story-telling. The Centre includes an archaeological research facility which promotes community participation and training in archaeological fieldwork and analysis activities. A key theme within our activities is the portrayal of the industrial, social and economic influence of the Caithness Flagstone Industry within our community.
