About Latheronwheel

Latheronwheel perches on Caithness's dramatic coastline, reached via the scenic A99 from either Wick or the A9 junction at Latheron. This tiny Highland settlement sits amongst some of Scotland's most spectacular cliff scenery, with the coastal road providing stunning sea views. There's roughly one fast charger for electric vehicles in the area. The village's unusual name comes from the old Scots "wheel," describing the swirling pool where the local stream meets the North Sea.
