Early morning atEnjoy superb coastal walks and marvel at the views from this headland located at the most northeasterly point of mainland Britain. Get ready to be enthralled by an edge-of-the-world sensation at Duncansby Head. This dramatic headland sits at the far northeastern corner of the Scottish mainland. Come to Duncansby Head to earn the bragging rights of having stood at the edge of Great Britain. Admire breathtaking natural surroundings, stroll over coastal cliffs, see huge colonies of seabirds and take memorable photos. At the tip of the head is Duncansby Head Lighthouse, which sets the scene for unforgettable panoramas. Stand near the lighthouse and gaze north across the deep-blue water of the Pentland Firth. Spot the Orkney archipelago and the lighthouse on Muckle Skerry, one of the Pentland Skerries islands. Look west toward the village of John Oâ€™Groats and Dunnet Head. Experience more inspiring scenery on a clifftop walks along a natural trail, which runs south from the headland to Skirza village. Stop to appreciate a collection of sea stacks called the Duncansby Stacks in addition to caves and rock clefts. Note how the stacks rise out of the water in pyramid shapes and reach heights of up to 197 feet 60 meters.
