Freswick to Dunscansby Head
Freswick to Dunscansby Head
A wild section of coastline with dramatic geos and cliffs, finishing at the amazing stacks and lighthouse of Dunscansby Head. This is a linear route, and there is no parking at the start, but if you are not being dropped off then there is a regular bus from John o'Groats taking 10 minutes to reach the Skirza road end at Freswick; you can then return to John o'Groats by following the coast from Dunscansby Head, adding an extra 3km.
