Bettyhill

OK, This isn't actually a hill. Its not even very near any hills! I just like this far corner of Sutherland and think this shot kind of sums up the scenery there! If you do want some excercise then explore the nearby Smoo Cave at Durness.

Distance covered: 10 yards

The Northern coast of Scotland runs from the bleak Eastern shores at John o'Groats through Thurso and on to the spectacular Western margins. There you can find some of the best beaches in Britain - this possibly due to the fact that the sea temparature seldom reaches anything even resembling comfortable swimming levels!
