About Mey

Mey perches on Scotland's northernmost coast in Caithness, where fierce Atlantic winds shape both landscape and daily life. The village sits along the A99 coastal route, connecting Thurso (15km west) with John o' Groats, serving tourists exploring Britain's northern edge and locals travelling between scattered farming settlements. About 4 EV charging points support the steady flow of visitors making the pilgrimage north. The Castle of Mey, lovingly restored by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother after 1952, remains the village's crown jewel.
