This rugged peninsula in Caithness is the most northerly point of mainland Britain. The seacliffs and coastal grasslands are great for birdwatching.
Dunnet Head on the north coast of Scotland is a wild and untamed landscape, with stunning sea cliffs and coastal grasslands which are home to Atlantic Puffin, Razorbill, Common Guillemot, Northern Fulmar and Kittiwake. Other species may be seen at sea such as Northern Gannet and Herring Gull. Great Skua and Arctic Skua are often present harrying the other seabird species for food. In Autumn you might see Twite as they gather on the overhead wires.
From the A836, take the B855 north to Brough for two miles (3 km) until you reach Dunnet Head. There is a large car park at Dunnet Head.
