Duncansby Head

Reviewed By StuartP73 - Westhoughton, United Kingdom

The turn for Duncansby Head is just a few hundred metres up the road from John O'Groats in the direction of Wick. After a couple of miles you arrive at a car park (free)near a lighthouse. A short 10-15 minute walk across fields will bring you to the most amazing view of Duncansby stacks. Well worth a visit just for the stacks however we also got to see seals and some great nesting birds on the cliffs.

Reviewed By sarahpeachornby - Nottingham, United Kingdom

We loved our visit to the farm and to see and feed the animals. All of the animals had plenty of room and seemed very happy! You could tell even after our short time there that some of the animals are right characters! Would highly recommend a visit here. The shop had a great selection of items to buy from fresh fruit and veg to homemade cakes!

John O'Groats Signpost

Reviewed By KevinP1314 - Monifieth, United Kingdom

Whilst driving the NC500 during relatively quite times it felt Braw pulling into an almost empty car park besides the signpost which also offers stunning views across to Southern Orkney islands. There are plenty of craft shops onsite and there are plenty of sites offering accommodation. Braw Aye

Lisa Poulsen

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm lucky to have grown up in Caithness at the Far North of Scotland surrounded by vast open landscapes and beautiful coastlines. Before becoming a full time artist, I gained experience working in tourism and hospitality. I'm passionate about the area and love to share local knowledge and experiences with others while ensuring our largely untouched landscape is left as its found.
