A 234km trail from Inverness to John o' Groats along the north-east coast of Scotland. The route follows clifftop paths, sandy beaches, and moorland tracks through Caithness and Sutherland. Highlights include the Broch of Boroughston, Duncansby Stacks, and the dramatic coastline around Dunbeath and Helmsdale. Expect exposed coastal walking, limited services in some sections, and a feeling of increasing remoteness as you head north. Accommodation is available in small towns and villages, though spacing requires some planning.
