John o' Groats
John O' Groats is famed for being the most northerly place on mainland Britain.
John O' Groats actually takes its name from a Dutchman called Jan de Groot, who set up the ferry service to Orkney back in 1496. Today you can take boat trips from John O' Groats, such as around the wild cliffs of Duncansby Head that are up to 200 feet high and are home to many nesting seabirds.
