A lovely place to visit, we were there in April and for any bird spotter or photographer you epuld have a field day here, small car park available and a very short walk to the top of the cliff.

The cliffs drop steeply down to the raging sea - Scotland could hardly end more dramatically, because Dunnet Head marks the northern end of the British mainland.
