The Signpost John O’Groats is a famous landmark that marks the end or start of a long-distance journey across Britain, from John O’Groats in Scotland to Land’s End in England. The signpost was installed in 1964 and shows the direction and distance to various destinations around the world, such as New York, Edinburgh, and the North Pole. Many travellers take photos with the signpost to commemorate their trip, and the signpost is often changed to reflect different events or occasions. The signpost is located next to the old John O’Groats hotel, near the harbour and the ferry terminal to the Orkney Islands. The signpost is a symbol of adventure and exploration, and a must-see for anyone visiting the northernmost part of Britain.
