Caithness

 PROPERTY JUNCTION'S HOUSE BUYERS' GUIDE TO CAITHNESS PROPERTIES        

 

In the northern tip of the UK, the historic county of Caithness is home to John O'Groats, and one of the most remote, picturesque counties in Scotland. Surrounded by the North Sea, Caithness is the furthest north UK territory other than the Orkney and Shetland Islands, and whilst now administered as part of the Highlands, it nonetheless maintains strong routes to its long and distinguished history as a county. With a good infrastructure traversing the spectacular countryside, is both a beautiful and practical place to live.
