📌 Dunnet, Highland
★★★
From the sweeping, sandy surfer’s paradise of Dunnet Bay, a narrow road leads north through the scattered settlement of Brough, then across moorland sprinkled with lochans. Dunnet Head is the destination – a remote lighthouse, unspoilt headland, seasonal puffins and superb views all make a visit here worthwhile, but something else is drawing the motorhomes and sightseers. Indeed, Dunnet Head’s claim to fame is that it’s the furthest north you can go on the British mainland: 835 miles by fastest road from The Lizard, Dunnet Head’s southernmost counterpart. The views out to sea, however, will remind you that Scotland doesn’t end here, with Orkney’s delights only a few miles away across the Pentland Firth.
