Despite its massive fame as the "northern tip of Britain," John o’ Groats isn't actually the most northerly point of the British mainland.  That title belongs to Dunnet Head which sits about 11 miles to the west and reaches roughly 2.35 miles further north. Images taken in February 2026.

Old Keiss Castle is a hauntingly beautiful, partially ruined tower house located in Caithness, Scotland. It sits in a breathtakingly precarious position, perched on the sheer sandstone cliffs of Sinclair's Bay, just north of the village of Keiss. #Castle #photography
