Dunnet Bay Sunset

Today has been a rest day and I spent much of the time just staring out to sea. As the evening drew in I was treated to some great views over the bay.

Dunnet Head

Dunnet Head includes the most northerly point of both mainland Scotland and the island of Great Britain and affords views of the islands of Stroma to the east, and Hoy and the Orkney Mainland, 15 km (9 miles) away to the north, across the Pentland Firth.

Burifa Hill on Dunnet Head was the site of the master station and a monitoring station of the northern GEE chain of radio navigation stations during World War II. There was also an artillery range on Dunnet Head during World War II.

Castle Sinclair Girnigoe

Castle Sinclair Girnigoe is located about 3 miles north of Wick on the east coast of Caithness, Scotland. It is considered to be one of the earliest seats of Clan Sinclair. It comprises the ruins of two castles: the 15th-century Castle Girnigoe; and the early 17th-century Castle Sinclair.

Duncansby Head & The Stacks of Duncansby

Duncansby Head is the most northeasterly part of the British mainland, including even the famous John o' Groats. It is located in Caithness, Highland, in north eastern Scotland. The headland juts into the North Sea, with the Pentland Firth to its north and west and the Moray Firth to its south. Views towards the Orkney Islands to the North.

The Stacks of Duncansby are some of the most impressive in the British Isles. The Great Stack is over 60 m high and rises above the summit of the adjacent cliff.
