Location  

• The cottage provides an excellent base from which to explore Caithness and North Sutherland. Within ten minutes drive is the two-mile stretch of Dunnet Sands with the cliffs of Dunnet Head beyond. There are many secluded beaches along both the North and East coasts amid some of the finest coastal scenery in Britain.
• Only 15 miles away is the famous Castle of Mey with its gardens; formerly the summer home of the Queen Mother this is now open to the public in the summer.
• Just across the Pentland Firth are the Orkney Isles. Day trips are available every day (May-September) from John-O-Groats including guided tours around the islands.
• On the moors, hills and mountains of Caithness and Sutherland the walker can enjoy the peace and solitude which is now rarely found elsewhere. With the aid of a car, the Munro tops of Ben Hope and Ben Klibreck are within easy reach.
• Caithness is famous for its wild brown trout, the salmon fishing is also renowned, particularly on the River Thurso. Caithness is a superb county for birdwatching and several rare species breed in the flow country. The spectacular cliff-nesting colonies of kittiwakes and guillemots are easily watched in complete safety from Duncansby Head, near John-O-Groats. Puffins, razorbills, shags and cormorants will also be seen there, and elsewhere. Seals are common. A speciality flower is the Scottish Primrose, common here along grassy clifftops and dune links but found almost nowhere else. Caithness is rich in antiquities, particularly chambered cairns, standing stones and stone rows dating back to 3000 BC.
