Things to see and do Thurso

Just as Thurso is the most northerly town in Britain, Dunnet Head is the land's end, from the top of its high vertical cliffs. Take a detour to this magical place: you will walk along the impressive dunes of Dunnet Bay, before reaching the lighthouse that stands at the very end, facing the Orkney Islands. It was built, like many others, by Robert Stevenson, the grandfather of the famous author. The area is an RSPB bird reserve and bird lovers will be delighted to observe their winged friends.

Why don't you meet Elizabeth and Margaret, the two stills from that distillery? It is possible to visit this Scottish gin and vodka distillery and discover the secrets of its production, from the choice of flowers and plants to a tasting of a Rock Rose gin and tonic, with a surprise at the end. Visits last one hour and are only open to adults. The shop is accessible to all, and you can bring back one or more exceptional spirits, born of the sea spray of Dunnet Bay and its strong character.
