Don't miss out on the atmospheric ruined Sinclair Girnigoe Castle. Poised on a cliff above the ocean, you would hardly think that this tranquil spot had such a contested history. It was seized by Cromwellian armies in the 1600s and played an important part in the political events of the time. Seals often play in the cove beneath the castle.
