Have a great trip!
I hope this helps and enjoy your stay!
Visit the pretty little sheltered harbour at Brough. It is located on the B855 on route to Dunnet Head. Its a fantastic location for bird watching, or just to sit with a picnic and admire the scenery. If you are really lucky, this is one of the best places to see the aurora borealis on a crisp clear evening.
The Grey Cairns of Camster can be found just off the A9 between the villages of Lybster and Watten. The cairns are one of the most oldest buildings in Scotland dating back 5000 years to Neolithic times. One of the cairns you can crawl inside through a narrow passage (but not if you hate enclosed spaces!) and at the end of the passage you can stand up inside the cairn.
