Tour Scotland Photograph Duncansby Head

Tour Scotland photograph of sea stacks at Duncansby Head, Scotland. This is the most north-easterly part of the Scottish mainland, including even the famous John o' Groats. The headland juts into the North Sea, with the Pentland Firth to its north and west and the Moray Firth to its south. The point is marked by Duncansby Head Lighthouse. A narrow road leads from John o' Groats to Duncansby Head, which makes Duncansby Head the furthest point by road from Land's End in western Cornwall, England.

Tour Scotland Photograph Findochty

Tour Scotland photograph of Findochty, Moray Firth, Scotland. In 1716 the Ord family brought 13 men and 4 boys from Fraserburgh under contract to fish from Findochty, and for a time the harbour was busy with landings of herring and white fish. Findochty expanded as a fishing port through the 1700s and 1800s, and by 1850 was home to 140 fishing boats. But the expansion in the late 1800s of nearby Buckie provided a better harbour, and some of the fishing fleet had left Findochty by 1890. Findochty harbour is now used mostly by pleasure craft. Known locally as Finechty, with its painted cottages, a scenic harbour, Findochty is a jewel of the north east of Scotland.
