Old Photograph Devil's Bridge Scotland

Old photograph of The Devil's Bridge near Thurso, Caithness, Scotland. On the coast at Holborn Head a shaft in the roof of a cave has broken through to the surface forming a blowhole and caves on either side of a headland have united to form a natural arch. A walk around the headland can be accessed through a gate next to the Principal Lighthouse Keeper's House. There are stiles and bridges, which allow access to the unfenced off promontory of Holborn Head itself. There are clear views over to Dunnet Head and to the Orkney Islands. The name Holborn appears Norse in origin, meaning hill fort.
