Mountvernon

Mountvernon forms part of the Thurso area in Caithness, sitting on Scotland's windswept northern coast where the Pentland Firth meets dramatic clifftops. The A99 provides main access from Thurso centre 2km away, whilst the A9 brings long-distance visitors north through the Highlands. Roughly 4 public fast chargers serve electric vehicles in this remote location. The area's most recognisable landmark remains the distinctive white sphere of nearby Dounreay nuclear facility, visible across the flat coastal landscape.
