About this spot
John o'Groats is a quaint little village nestled in the far north of Scotland. It's renowned for being the most northerly point on the British mainland and the starting point for the legendary Land's End to John o'Groats walking route. The iconic signpost is one of Scotland's most photographed landmarks, attracting throngs of tourists.
However, if you want to experience the true charm of John o'Groats, I highly recommend visiting early in the morning, ideally before the sun rises. During the day, the spot transforms into a bustling scene busier than Piccadilly Circus. But in the quiet solitude of the early morning, you'll have the place to yourself.
