NC500 GT. - 55 – Giles Bay

NC500 GT. - 55 – Giles Bay
Welcome to Giles Bay on the Pentland Firth. We see here the Pentland Ferries craft that takes cars and passengers to St Margaret's Hope on the Orkney Island of Ronaldsay.

Gills Bay, which is situated about 3 mi west of John o' Groats with the community of Gills close by, has one of the longest stretches of low-lying rock coast on the northern shores of Caithness. Its main features are a small harbour and the pier used as the mainland terminal for Pentland.

The NC 500: The Scottish 'North Coast 500' is one of the world’s most beautiful road trips. A route of just over 500 miles (516) of stunning coastal scenery, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains, remote fishing villages and hidden gems.

Good to see the ferry. Not one I am familiar with. I will have to investigate:-)

An hour to get to Orkney must be a great temptation for some. I wonder if there are people who never get back on the NC500

Good to show something new for you Colin. I somehow don't imagine the majority of ferry users to be tourist.

Cheers. Herb

Aye, I know Calmac have been trying to dig up temp replacement ferries from all over the place. One day they might even get those very much delayed MV Glenn Sannox and MV Glenn Rosa on line. Supposed to be in September (24) but we will not hold our breaths.

Cheers. Herb
