John O'Groats
John O’ Groats, often considered the northernmost point of mainland Britain, is a famous coastal village in the Scottish Highlands. Located at the north-eastern tip of Scotland, it serves as the starting or finishing point for the iconic Land’s End to John O’ Groats journey, which spans the entire length of Britain. The village is known for its dramatic coastal scenery, with rugged cliffs, sea stacks, and stunning views across the Pentland Firth towards the Orkney Islands. Visitors have their photo at the John O’ Groats signpost, a popular photo spot. Puffins, seals, and even whaleshave been seen at John O’ Groats although depending on time of year it is not guaranteed. Though small, John O’ Groats is rich in history, adventure, and natural beauty, the local council has invested in lots of attractions for visitors to enjoy at this edge of the world.
Duncansby Stacks, located just a short distance from John O’ Groats, are some of Scotland’s most breath-taking sea stacks, rising dramatically from the waters of the North Sea. These towering rock formations, sculpted by centuries of wind and waves, stand as a testament to the raw power of nature. The walk to the stacks as well as being seen from a distance offers stunning coastal views, along dramatic cliffs teeming with seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. The two largest stacks, with their pointed, almost triangular shapes, create a striking and otherworldly scene, especially at sunrise or sunset.

Excellent full day private tour with an experienced and passionate local guide. Tony provided a well planned tour that was then customized to our interests and preferences. The vehicle was comfortable and we were well looked after throughout the tour. We have been to Scotland before and we're looking for experiences and perspectives off the normal tourist track. The North and Northeast coast tour provided ample points of interest and incredible experiences. Given the distance to be traveled in a day to see so much, the clean and comfortable vehicle and professional driving made the travel time fly by. Tony is a local and provided commentary and knowledge throughout the tour. His passion and pride in the region were evident and provided a perspective that couldn't be replicated any other way. In summary, I was very happy with the quality, professional, and memorable experience.
