Visitors love the sea, the walks, the sandy beaches, and the castles and historic sites, Thurso is a great base for exploring the county of Caithness, with its long, dramatic coastline teeming with wildlife, the famous John o'Groats, the Castle of Mey, the Queen Mother's much loved summer home, the old fishing town of Wick with its harbour, Heritage centre and Pulteney Whisky Distillery, RSPB's Forsinard Flows, and the many ancient historic sites. The Wee Red House is a short walk from pubs, cafés, restaurants and takeaways, and not far from Thurso's cinema, though you might prefer to just stay in and relax.
