Caithness |
Caithness is a large area of unspoilt, dramatic scenery in the far North of Scotland. Caithness extends about 30 miles (50 Kilometers) north-south and about 30 miles (50 Kilometers) east-west, with an area of about 712 square meters. The borders of Caithness are the Pentland Firth to the North and Moray Firth to the East. Caithness meets Sutherland, together covering the far north coast of Scotland. The coast is low lying on the east and majestic on the north, with high cliffs and offshore stacks at places like Duncansby Head. Wick and Thurso are the main settlements, based around Harbours. Across the Pentland Firth ferries link Caithness with Orkney and Caithness also has an airport at Wick.
