John o' Groats is normally portrayed as being the northern-most point of mainland Britain, but in fact it is the fourth in line for the title, after Cape Wrath, St. John's Point (near Scarfskerry) and Dunnet Head.
Dunnet Head was an RAF radar station during the 2nd World War and the antenna systems and old buildings are still in evidence on Burifa Hill. Brough is the most northerly village on the UK mainland and officially on Dunnet Head. Old maps show the property as the Brough Post Office and on even older maps, as an Inn. The property was completely rebuilt in the 1930s and extensively renovated by the previous owners, Mr. and Mrs. John Eden, some years ago.
Our self catering accommodation is available in 2005 at £150 per week for low season, January to March; £250 per week mid season April to June, £300 per week high season July and August, and Christmas. We also have a caravan which can be rented on a weekly basis for £150 per week during the walking festival from 14th to 22nd May 2005. We welcome groups.
We have good contacts with the local Ranger Service who do guided wildlife walks throughout the summer, can
provide information on footpaths and a qualified guide if required, and general information on tours.
