    Hiking

    The picturesque and challenging Ousdale Burn is located in a steep-sided valley on the John O' Groats Trail close to the Ousdale Broch.

    A head for heights is needed to cross this Burn! This is because the path descends very steeply to reach the Burn - the average downward slope is nearly 60 degrees!

    The 50 m (164 ft) drop to the Burn is negotiated using 150 steep wooden steps. Undertaking this descent requires care and sure-footedness especially in wet and windy weather.
