Home to the ‘Flow Country’, where some of the oldest and least disturbed peatland habitats can be found anywhere in the world. The quiet appearance can be deceptive. Look a little closer and you will find an abundance of rare plants, insects and birds. On the coast, wide open spaces have plenty to offer those looking for something that little bit different. This land is different. Stand at Dunnet Head and look around – you are standing at the most northerly point of mainland Britain. The golden sands of the bay are a wondrous site as the suns sets and the lighthouse illuminates the open seas. Exhilarating winds that take your breath away will carry your aspirations and dreams with them. The remarkable Whaligoe Steps allow you to descend precipitous sea cliffs, giving a not to be forgotten experience – yet these steps were once a daily challenge for herring fishermen. For those who can look under the surface. For those who can see beyond the obvious. This is a place of true escape.
