Day 7 - Left the town of Wick (up on the north east coast of Scotland) and headed for the town of John O'Groat. A short drive from there took us to the most north easterly point of the UK called Duncasby Head. The area has a working lighthouse as well as old buildings from WW2 were soldiers lived who kept a watch out for enemy shipping. We followed the coast west towards Durness. Our next stop was the Castle of Mey. This castle, situated right on the coast was where the Queen Mother often came for her summer holiday. Up the road from Mey we stopped at Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of the UK. By this time, the weather had changed to windy and the drizzly rain sometimes produced some heavy showers. The narrow roads (one lane), number of RV's, cyclists and walkers on the road made for slow driving. A couple of hours south of Durness saw us arrive at Ullapool on the west coast. Along the way we saw some different sights - sheep, beautiful wildflowers and amazing countryside.
