What are the best activities for families in Thurso?
A day at the seaside
Beaches on Scotland's northern coast may not be known for their warm weather, but they are perfect for kids who love to explore! Thurso's own beach is popular with fossil hunters; keep your eyes peeled for fossils in the cliff face and smaller boulders on the sands. In winter and spring, the beach becomes a popular destination for surfers, as the tide creates waves that are ideal for surfing - though a wetsuit is essential! Strathy Bay is a much wider stretch of sand, backed by cliffs with caves and rock stacks. Strathy Point's lighthouse was the first to be powered by electricity and was the last manned lighthouse in Scotland. Head to the Castle of Mey, the Queen Mother's former home, for a great family day out; explore the historic house and gardens and visit the animal centre, where you can get up close with the four-legged residents.

Dunnet Head, Britain's most northerly point, is home to an RSPB nature reserve and dozens of seabird species including puffins, shags, and cormorants.
