Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

Town: Castletown lies close to the north coast of the Highlands of Scotland, five miles from Thurso and features buildings made mostly from the local stone. With a hotel, grocery store and butchers the village can cater for all your needs and if you feel like a night off from cooking you can visit the fish and chip shop on your way home. The village’s past can be discovered at the Flagstone Heritage Trail and the Castlehill Heritage Centre. Nearby Thurso is the most northerly town in mainland Scotland and also boasts the country's most northerly railway station! From here guests can take a ferry across to Orkney, leaving from Scrabster harbour just to the west of the town. Orkney is a great place to visit and the ferry crosses regularly throughout the year. If you take your car then remember to book first! Thurso benefits from a pretty seafront location and from here you can see the remains of Thurso Castle. The Caithness Horizons museum is housed in the old Town Hall and is certainly well worth a visit. The newer part of the town benefits from wide streets with Sir John's Square at the centre. It is also situated perfectly for a visit to John O'Groats, which is just 14 miles away and Durness, where Smoo Cave, Cape Wrath and the Durness Golf Course are well worth a visit.

Northbank house is a wonderful property. The home is very cozy, yet spacious, and has a great view of Dunnet Head and the Orkney Islands from a distance. It is well located to a bunch of great spots, including Duncansby Head, Wick, Thurso, and Strathnaver Valley. Loved our stay, and can’t wait to come back again!
