What a great little castle. Amazing to see it still standing after so many years. Very cool little place to visit and explore the ruins - never quite seen anything like it.

Great little place to walk to, please respect the people living there and use the designated car park which is only a 5 minute walk away.

A very beautiful old lighthouse. Unfortunately, it's not open to visitors as it's privately owned.

Noss Head Lighthouse – Beacon over Sinclair’s Bay This white lighthouse, designed by Alan Stevenson in 1849, stands on a cliff with panoramic views over the North Sea and Sinclair’s Bay. It was the first lighthouse to use diagonal panes in the lantern room – an innovation that later became standard in Scotland. The short walk from the car park takes you past grasslands and rugged coastline to this historic beacon. Ideal for a peaceful sunset or birdwatching.

Sinclair, the eldest son of Sir John Sinclair, 1st Baronet of Ulbster, and Diana, only daughter of Alexander Macdonald, 1st Baron Macdonald, was born in Edinburgh. His siblings were John, William, and Catherine Sinclair. At ten, he entered Harrow School under Dr. Drury, where he studied with Lord Byron and Sir Robert Peel. Byron described Sinclair as "the prodigy of our school days. He made exercises for half the school (in the true sense of the word), verses at will, and subjects without them. He was a friend of mine, and as near to me." At sixteen, Sinclair left Harrow for Göttingen. He was arrested as a spy and brought before Napoleon, who interrogated him and ordered his release. In 1826, Sinclair published a privately printed account of the interview (Edinburgh, 1826, 8vo).

What a beautiful beach overlooking Scrabster. It's always special to walk along the seafront, watching and listening to the waves. Access to the beach was via a few steps at either end. On the day I visited, it was beautifully clean and the wind was blowing quite strongly. It's a truly superb location.
