Dunnet Head is a peninsula in Caithness, on the north coast of Scotland. Dunnet Head includes the most northerly point of both mainland Scotland and the island of Great Britain. Dunnet Head Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse that stands on the 300-foot cliff top of Easter Head on Dunnet Head. The lighthouse is 66 feet tall and was built in 1831. Overlooking the lighthouse are several buildings from the Second World War, used as observation points, now abandoned they do make interesting viewing for historical purposes. The observation point near the Lighthouse is popular with people watching for whales and dolphins as well as seabirds. Orca can sometimes be seen in small packs around this area of the Caithness coastline.
