As part of being in the general area of Caithness in northern Scotland it is compulsory to visit John 'O Groats. This is the somethingest point of the British Island according to British cyclists who use this place as the North marker for a large cycling journey. There are many shops and a special booth to take a photo in. We did not do that.
There is another marker and we took a photo or two there:
This is the John O Groats nominee for souvenir of the year
According to maps the actual Northernmost point of the British Isle is Dunnet Head. It is a former military instillation and current bird-watching post. There are some impressive cliffs with tiers of birds nests of various species.
This is the least windy part of the area. I filled out a 4-page survey for the attendant who was taking care of the information hut there. I hope it is good karma for when/if I have to get people to fill out surveys for me.
