Join me for a walk around the harbour area of John O'Groats, almost as far north as we can go on the mainland of Great Britain! Located an incredible 876 miles away from Land's End in Cornwall, 690 miles from London and 280 miles from Edinburgh, this remote but famous point of extremity is full of history and some truly spectacular windswept scenery.

On our walk around John O'Groats, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the John O'Groats Signpost, John O'Groats House Hotel, the Pentland Firth, Stroma Island, Nomadic Boulders, The Last House, the John O'Groats Trail, Duncansby Head Foghorn (John O'Groats Seaman Memorial), the 'wishing whale', John O'Groats Harbour, and the John O'Groats signpost once again!
