Unlike the Land's End sign, this one is free to get your photo taken at. Just be prepared to wait, as it can get quite busy with tourists doing the NC500 route.
It's worth noting that despite its fame, John O' Groats is not the absolute most northerly point of mainland Britain. That distinction belongs to Dunnet Head, which is situated a few miles to the west of John O' Groats.
