About Thurso

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

Having a rental vehicle in Thurso is crucial for exploring the secluded and magnificent landscapes of Caithness and Sutherland. This most northerly region of mainland Scotland features wide-ranging open spaces, imposing cliff formations, and untouched beaches that are generally out of reach by public transport. A rental vehicle offers the freedom to discover these scattered natural wonders at your own pace.

From Thurso, a short drive west brings you to Strathy Point, where a lighthouse perches on dramatic cliffs providing sweeping views across the Pentland Firth. Further west lies Bettyhill and the haunting Strathnaver Museum, which narrates the moving story of the Highland Clearances that profoundly altered this landscape. The pristine beaches at Farr and Torrisdale offer miles of golden sand often visited only by seabirds and the occasional seal.

Eastward from Thurso, Dunnet Head—the true most northerly point of mainland Britain—boasts magnificent cliff scenery and an RSPB nature reserve where puffins, guillemots, and razorbills nest during summer months. Nearby Dunnet Bay presents 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 remote corner of Scotland.

For those fascinated by prehistoric heritage, the Grey Cairns of Camster and the Hill o' Many Stanes are easily accessible by car from Thurso, providing glimpses into the enigmatic Neolithic past of Caithness. The region also boasts connections to more recent history at the Dounreay Nuclear Research Establishment, where a visitor center details the site's significant role in the development of nuclear energy in the UK.

At Scotland Rentals, our Thurso branch concentrates on providing vehicles that are ideal for this northern environment. We understand the specific challenges of driving in Caithness, from exposed coastal roads that may encounter strong winds to isolated rural routes that necessitate trustworthy transportation. Our fleet features vehicles with outstanding fuel efficiency for exploring this expansive landscape, as well as models with improved heating systems for comfort during the cooler northern climate.

We feature handy pickup and drop-off services throughout Thurso, featuring coordination with train arrivals and departures for those traveling on the Far North Line. Our knowledgeable team maintains extensive knowledge of Caithness and northern Sutherland and can provide valuable advice on driving routes, hidden viewpoints, and seasonal attractions that might be skipped by standard tourist information.

With Scotland Rentals, you'll appreciate our straightforward pricing policy with no hidden charges and our unlimited mileage option, which is especially helpful when discovering this vast and sometimes overlooked region. Our complete insurance coverage and 24/7 roadside assistance service cover throughout the northern Highlands, giving peace of mind even on the most remote stretches of your journey through this breathtaking landscape.
