THINGS TO DO
The Castle of Mey
The Castle of Mey, a big crowd-puller for its Queen Mother connections, is 6 miles west of John O’Groats. The exterior is grand but inside it feels domestic and everything is imbued with the Queen Mum's character.
Wolfburn Whisky
​
Wolfburn is the northernmost whisky distillery in mainland Scotland. With a deep and exciting history well worth exploring, the multi-award winning Wolfburn is now available worldwide in over 20 countries.
Grey Cairns of Camster
Dating from between 4000 BC and 2500 BC, these burial chambers are hidden in long, low mounds rising from an evocatively lonely moor. You can enter the main chamber, but must first crawl into the well-preserved Round Cairn
Dunnet Bay Distillery
​
There's something rather fetching about this small-batch distillery on the main road through Dunnet. The very tasty Rock Rose gin and Holy Grass vodka are made here, using botanicals grown out front in a rockery and under a little biodome. It's best to book tours in advance.
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe
​
Three miles northeast of Wick is the magnificently located clifftop ruin of Castle Sinclair. It's a short walk from a car park, with some interpretative signboards along the way.
John O' Groats
​
Though the most northerly point in mainland Britain is nearby Dunnet Head, John O’ Groats is one end of the longest distance between two points on the British mainland. The other point, of course, is Land’s End. Many charity cycle runs or walks begin and end here.
