With
water on the north and eat of the county Caithness has a long coastline
and the sea has had a significant impact in its history, economy and
outlook of its people. Mainly rugged cliffs but with beautiful
beaches made up variously of sand, shingle and rock. Many
small coves and harbours abound on the coast often tucked away out of
sight at the end of small twisty single track roads. Most can be
visited by car and a few are just a short walk over a field. The
coastal views are spectacular and teaming with birds especially in the
spring. |
