A short walk or drive takes you to Scrabster Harbour where there are 2 restaurants, a fish bar, a tapas bar, a cafe and a pub (Popeyes). The harbour is also fantastic just to walk around and look at the boats. The resident seal might also be spotted scrounging fish from one of the many fishing boats. Fishing trips are available from Scrabster as well as the Orkney ferry, The Hamnavoe. From the harbour you can walk further to Holbornhead lighthouse and from there a grassy walk will take you to Holbornhead itself. Holbornhead is wild and rugged with spectacular views across the North Atlantic. Alternatively a visit to Thurso which is a 5 minute drive or a very pleasant 2 mile walk. Thurso will give you access to restaurants, shops, leisure facilities, a golf course, a museum and historic churches. Another popular activity in the area is surfing. We are 10 minutes from the world class Thurso East waters. We are in the rural Highlands so it is best to have your own transport although good train, ferry and bus links are available, We have a dog that you might meet in the garden. He is friendly and full of energy. We also have a working beehive in the garden.
