      A rugged, windswept peninsula to the east of John O’Groats, with spectacular views across the North Sea and the Pentland Firth. Walk past cliffs, grasslands and seabird colonies towards the iconic Duncansby Stacks. A short but impressive walk full of natural power and silence – perfect for those who want to feel the real north.

        waterproof boots recommended, trail mixes with sheep paths but Komoot shoes the way!
