North East Corner
The most North Easterly Lighthouse on the UK Mainland is the Duncansby Head Lighthouse the tower was builtin 1924 under the supervision of David Stevenson, A large view will reveal the two Pentland Skerries lighthouses on the island of Muckle Skerry,
These are just three of many that protect shipping in the Pentland Firth.
Inner Harbour

This is the inner harbour at Wick on a really warm June day.
Lifeboat.
The RNLI lifeboat 14-20 (Roy Barker II) moored in Wick Harbour,
Wick is a town in the far north of Scotland and is home to the most northerly mainland distillery ( Old Paulteney) and a fine malt it is!
Moving on to Ducansby Head tomorrow.

Way Out
The entrance and exit to Lybster Harbour in Caithness, Scotland,
The Lighthouse dates from 1884 and the ropes hanging over the wall are keeping shellfish and
Crustaceans fresh until the lorry collects, because of the distance they don't call every day.
HFF and a good week
