This sculpture at Dunbeath Harbor depicts a boy, Kenn, carrying a salmon. It is inspired by the famous book "Highland River" by Neil M. Gunn, who was born in Dunbeath. Kenn is the nine-year-old protagonist of the book. The scene depicts the moment when Kenn, with his bare hands, catches a giant salmon from the river and brings it home—a pivotal moment in his childhood and the beginning of the story. This moment is not just a catch, but a deeply symbolic turning point in Kenn's life. As he retrieves the salmon, he feels connected to his ancestors and to nature. The book follows Kenn's search for the source of the river, which simultaneously symbolizes the source of life and self-understanding. The salmon he carries represents not only his childhood triumph and happiness, but also a fundamental discovery about himself and the world. The statue, erected in 1991 to commemorate the centenary of Neil M. Gunn's birth, was designed by sculptor Alex Main. It symbolizes the resilience, connection to the landscape, and deep reflection on life that are central to Gunn's work and philosophy. Thus, the story behind the statue is one of youthful exuberance, a legendary salmon, and ultimately, the search for who you truly are—all within the context of the rugged and beautiful landscape of Caithness, around Dunbeath Harbour.

The stairs are quite steep, so you should not be afraid of heights.

The path to the viewpoint is now very easy, you no longer have to go around the valley (there is a comfortable path with wooden steps and a bridge). However, there can be a nasty wind at the top of the ledge, there are no railings!

Locally known as "Scorrie's Island", the Stack o'Brough is a unique, tall rock rising out of the North Sea, with its' defining characteristic being the large tunnel hole from front to back.
