Dunnet Head

RSPB

Dunnet Head is a rugged peninsula located on the northern coast of Caithness, Scotland, and is the most northerly point of mainland Britain. This nature reserve features stunning sea cliffs and coastal grasslands, making it a vital seabird sanctuary. Notable species such as Puffins, Razorbills, Guillemots, Fulmars, and Kittiwakes thrive in this wild landscape, which is managed to support its diverse wildlife and monitor seabird populations through national surveys. Wildlife enthusiasts can expect to see a variety of seabirds, particularly in April when activity peaks. Look out for Northern Fulmars and Great Skuas around midday, while Puffins and Kittiwakes are best observed at dusk. July is an excellent time to spot Twites and Parasitic Jaegers, with sightings peaking around 2 PM. The reserve's rich biodiversity and stunning views make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
