John O' Groats - Harbour |
| Description: |
John O' Groats is almost the furthest north in mainland Scotland and is the end of the main road network. It's
famous for the many long-distance walkers who travel from John O' Groats to Land's End in Cornwall,
a distance of 874 miles. Amongst the attractions are the famous octagonal house, a restaurant,
selection of tourist shops and a 45 minute passenger ferry, with connecting
bus tours, to Orkney. Its odd name is due to a Dutchman, Jan de Groot, who arrived in 1496 and built his house
by the coast when starting his ferry business to Orkney.
