Dunnet Head is great for walking, fishing (we sell fishing permits for the lochs

on the Head) and water sports in Brough Bay. There are WWII remains of the radar station, part of Dunnet Head is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and there are 34 archaeological sites. It is also a great place for wildlife -

puffins can be seen from May to July as well as many other birds. Seals bask

in Brough Bay behind the Dunnet Head Information Centre, and other cetaceans

are often seen in the Pentland Firth. The views from the 100m cliffs to Orkney and Cape Wrath are stupendous. Good surfing is possible on the Atlantic rollers at Thurso.

Take the A836 from Thurso towards John o Groats. At Dunnet, turn left towards Dunnet Head. Follow the road over the little bridge, and bear right. Continue to Brough village, then turn left again towards the Head. We are about 200 yards down the road on the right hand side - house name is Windhaven.
