 A prerequisite for many people visiting the area is a trip to John o Groats where you can have your photograph taken against a landmark to prove your visit, or simply browse the numerous local craft and souvenir shops for mementos. Wildlife boat trips are also available. |
Further afield you will find the late Queen Mother s Caithness residence - the Castle of Mey (left), where she and her family spent time relaxing. The Castle gardens are open to the public during the summer and are worth a visit.

If you want to travel further afield then there are many gems littered around Caithness, from the historic past to the technological future, from nature and activities to shopping and relaxation. You should be able to find something to suit. You can even leave the mainland behind completely! Take one of the day trips to the Orkney Islands, with regular ferries leaving from nearby Gills harbour and the Scrabster terminal. Finally, whatever you have found to do during the day, you can return to the Hotel knowing you re in for a hearty meal, and can then relax with a few drinks in front of an open fire - what could be better?
