About this spot
Dunnet Head is a breathtaking peninsula located in the far north of Scotland. It is officially considered the most northerly point on the British mainland, offering panoramic views of the North Sea, Orkney Islands, and the Pentland Firth. The rugged landscape is dotted with lighthouses, cliffs, and sea stacks, making it a popular destination for photographers.
From May to August, during the nesting season, you can spot adorable puffins clinging to the steep, rocky cliffs.
