Orkney in the background only 6.75 miles away across the Pentland Firth, At 58 degrees north, geographically it is the most northerly point on mainland Britain, 2.35 miles further north than John O Groats.

HWW to one and all!

Hi Roger
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition, enhanced by the B&W
This was on our plan last summer, but sadly the road to it was closed..
Best Wishes, (very late) HWW,, and stay safe!!
