Reasons to visit

  • Duncansby Head
Head up the North East coast of Scotland and pull off the main road to this lovely little harbour. I find it amazing how they manage to launch boats out into this, especially when it swells. This little lighthouse was probably well used in days gone by.  #GreatOutdoors
