About Crosskirk

Crosskirk lies along the A99 coastal route in Caithness, 9km west of Thurso. The village sits on windswept moorland where Atlantic weather systems create rapidly changing conditions. Popular with North Coast 500 tourists, it connects locally to scattered settlements like Skaill and Pennyland via single-track roads. The 12th-century ruins of St. Mary's Chapel, a Norse church, remain the village's most distinctive landmark.
