Things to see and do JOhn O'Groats

This landscape is, for many, one of the most beautiful in Scotland. When you arrive near the lighthouse, you will have to follow the grassy tracks trodden by other visitors to get to the Duncansby stacks, these impressive and majestic rocky peaks. As you cross the meadow, which you'll share with the sheep, and walk along the cliffs, you'll see seagulls and many oystercatchers in their never-ending ballet. You can't miss the stacks (rocks), which will stand in front of you. Plan to be well covered: the wind is blowing very strong here!

The office offers information on travel, accommodation, local services and emergency services. It also offers a selection of books, maps, gifts and souvenirs.

As well as Orkney crossings and guided day trips, John O'Groats Ferries organises Wildlife Cruises to see the huge and beautiful coastline of the surrounding area up close. Many marine animals will meet your path and you will approach the gigantic Stacks of Duncansby. The day tours also allow you to visit Orkney and its heritage, with bus transport between the different sites. It is also possible to simply take the ferry, without a guided tour.
