First stop at Noss Head Lighthouse for Castle Sinclair Girinigoe:
Next stop, another ruin, Old Keiss Castle:
Couple of Grey seals were lounging on the beach below Keiss
After Keiss, we headed up to Duncansby Head to see the Duncansby Stacks. A spectacular sight, even in the harsh, cold rain:
Headed back to John O’Groats to visit the famous signpost where folk patiently wait to take their pictures:
Next up, Dunnet Head lighthouse, the most northerly point on the mainland and from where it is possible to see the Orkney isles. The weather was fine, but a black rain cell was never far away!
After a stop at the Dunnet Bay Distillery (gin), where the were rightfully told gin is diesel for the body, we rolled into Murkle for the night.
Rounded the day off with a stroll to the beach. View across to Durness Head.
