John O'Groats is only 25 miles away, and the nearby towns of Durness and Smoo Cave, Cape Wrath, and the Durness Golf Course are well worth a trip. To see Orkney, hop on the daily boat that leaves from a port near The Castle of Mey. Halkirk is the perfect place for a peaceful getaway, filled with walks and birdwatching, thanks to its breath-taking views of the surrounding moorlands and glens.
