About Scarfskerry

Scarfskerry perches on Caithness's northern coast, a tiny settlement where the A99 coastal road offers stunning views across to Orkney. Most visitors arrive via this scenic route from either Thurso (20 minutes west) or through Wick and the A9 from the south. The village sits amongst the surprisingly mild maritime landscape of Scotland's far north, where the Gulf Stream keeps winters relatively gentle. With approximately 6 public EV chargers nearby, it's well-positioned for electric vehicle touring. On clear days, you can spot the Old Man of Hoy sea stack across the Pentland Firth.
