About Thurso

Thurso, Britain's most northerly town on the mainland, acts as a gateway to some of Scotland's most rugged and unspoiled landscapes. Located on the shores of the Pentland Firth facing the Orkney Islands, this old settlement gives visitors a distinctive blend of Highland heritage, magnificent coastal scenery, and top-notch surfing opportunities, with Thurso East being regarded as one of Europe's best cold-water surf spots.

Having a rental vehicle in Thurso is crucial for discovering the secluded and breathtaking landscapes of Caithness and Sutherland. This most northerly region of mainland Scotland offers wide-ranging open spaces, rugged cliff formations, and untouched beaches that are largely inaccessible by public transport. A rental vehicle gives the independence to explore these dispersed natural wonders at your own pace.

From Thurso, a short drive west brings you to Strathy Point, where a lighthouse perches on rugged cliffs giving stunning views across the Pentland Firth. Further west lies Bettyhill and the haunting Strathnaver Museum, which relates the touching story of the Highland Clearances that significantly altered this landscape. The untouched beaches at Farr and Torrisdale give miles of golden sand often visited only by seabirds and the occasional seal.

Eastward from Thurso, Dunnet Head—the true northernmost point of mainland Britain—offers stunning cliff scenery and an RSPB nature reserve where puffins, guillemots, and razorbills nest during summer months. Nearby Dunnet Bay offers a two-mile stretch of perfect sand, while the Castle of Mey, the former Highland retreat of the Queen Mother, offers insights into royal life in this secluded corner of Scotland.

For those fascinated by prehistoric heritage, the Grey Cairns of Camster and the Hill o' Many Stanes are readily reachable by car from Thurso, giving glimpses into the unexplained Neolithic past of Caithness. The region also offers connections to more recent history at the Dounreay Nuclear Research Establishment, where a visitor center describes the site's important role in the development of nuclear energy in the UK.

We understand the specific challenges of driving in Caithness, from exposed coastal roads that may experience strong winds to secluded rural routes that require trustworthy transportation.
