Caithness B&B Accommodation
The A9 travels northwards up the coast to John O' Groats where there is a passenger ferry to Orkney. A side road leads to Duncansby Head and from here a path leads over the cliff tops to a view of the Duncansby Stacks, spectacular rock formations just off the coast. Further west and another side road leads to Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland Britain.
This northern part of the Highland area is one of the last wildernesses in Europe. From the rolling moorlands on the east, the 'Flow Country', to the dramatic mountains on the west, this is the least populated part of Scotland. An ancient land, it has some of the oldest rock in the world - the Lewisian gneiss. Once high mountains, these rounded hills have been eroded and moulded by glaciers and time. This is the home of the golden eagle, the wildcat, the pinemarten and the red deer. Once it was home to many people in small communities until the infamous Highland clearances dispersed the population to all the corners of the globe.
The main road from Wick to Thurso cuts across this north-easterly corner of Caithness, before turning west along the "top" of Scotland toward the region of Sutherland.
