Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Duncansby Head is the most northeasterly point of both the Scottish and British mainlands, just a tad northeast of John o' Groats. It's like the tip-top corner of Scotland, jutting out into the North Sea with some cool sea stacks nearby. There's a lighthouse there too, built in 1924 by David Alan Stevenson. If you ever find yourself at John o' Groats, take a little road trip to Duncansby Head for some stunning coastal views and a taste of the farthest point you can reach by road from Land's End.
