About Thurso

Thurso, Britain's most northerly town on the mainland, serves as a gateway to some of Scotland's most rugged and pristine landscapes. Situated on the shores of the Pentland Firth facing the Orkney Islands, this old settlement offers visitors a unique blend of Highland heritage, stunning coastal scenery, and premier 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 discovering the secluded and breathtaking landscapes of Caithness and Sutherland. This northernmost region of mainland Scotland features vast open spaces, imposing cliff formations, and untouched beaches that are mostly unreachable by public transport. A rental vehicle gives the independence to explore these spread out natural wonders at your own pace.

From Thurso, a brief drive west brings you to Strathy Point, where a lighthouse perches on rugged cliffs providing stunning views across the Pentland Firth. Further west lies Bettyhill and the haunting Strathnaver Museum, which relates the poignant story of the Highland Clearances that dramatically 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 northernmost 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 showcases a two-mile stretch of perfect sand, while the Castle of Mey, the former Highland retreat of the Queen Mother, gives insights into royal life in this isolated corner of Scotland.

For those fascinated by prehistoric heritage, the Grey Cairns of Camster and the Hill o' Many Stanes are just a short drive by car from Thurso, giving 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 describes the site's significant role in the development of nuclear energy in the UK.

At Scotland Rentals, our Thurso branch concentrates on supplying vehicles that are ideal for this northern environment. We know the unique challenges of driving in Caithness, from exposed coastal roads that may be subject to strong winds to secluded rural routes that require reliable transportation. Our fleet offers vehicles with outstanding fuel efficiency for visiting 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, including coordination with train arrivals and departures for those traveling on the Far North Line. Our local team has comprehensive knowledge of Caithness and northern Sutherland and can provide valuable advice on driving routes, hidden viewpoints, and seasonal attractions that might be missed by standard tourist information.

With Scotland Rentals, you'll enjoy our transparent pricing policy with no hidden charges and our unlimited mileage option, which is particularly helpful when exploring this wide-ranging and sometimes overlooked region. Our complete insurance coverage and 24/7 roadside assistance service extend throughout the northern Highlands, giving peace of mind even on the most remote stretches of your journey through this breathtaking landscape.
