Milltown, Highland

Milltown occupies a windswept corner of Caithness between Wick and John o' Groats, accessible via the coastal A99. Most visitors are tourists heading to mainland Britain's northernmost point or exploring the area's Neolithic sites, though locals use shorter routes to nearby settlements like Keiss and Freswick. The village's name harks back to its grain-milling heritage, when the relentless northeastern winds powered local mills.
