Today it is unmanned and runs automatically
Staying for five nights at the Natural Retreats at John O'Groats.The wet and windy weather during from mid-morning through to early afternoon illustrated the potential harshness of the climate up here even during summer. Despite the weather we ventured up to Duncansby Head for a short walk. Duncansby Head is the most north easterly point of mainland Scotland.

Duncansby Head and the Orkneys.
The Pentland Firth is a busy but potentially dangerous
channel between the Atlantic and the North Sea
