First and Last Bench

This is John o'Groats which is not the northernmost point on the mainland that honour belongs along the coast at Dunnet Head, it is however one end of the longest distance between two inhabited points on the mainland (land's End is the other) 876 miles away,
Nothing to stop for here really, just a quick pit stop on the way to Duncansby Head for us.

The island in the background is Stroma, It is the most southerly of the islands in the Pentland Firth between the Orkney islands and the traditional county of Caithness,

HBM and a good week

Lovely composition and an excellent capture Roger. I could not believe how busy this place was and you may well have found the quietest part of John O' Groats! Great notes here. Love the title!

HBM and have a good weekend
