When we were travelling up to catch the ferry to Orkney we ended up being far too early for it, we had factored in a possible couple of hours of delays, obviously we didn’t want to miss the boat! So before stopping off at John O’Groats we drove to nearby Duncansby Head which is the real north eastern tip of Scotland.

It was a bit misty when we were there so we didn’t take many photos.

It’s a shame we didn’t have more time to spare as I would have loved to go on a good long walk along the cliffs there, maybe we’ll manage that another time.
