Canisbay Company
The former holiday home of the late Queen Mother is the most northerly castle on the British mainland. Includes a brief history, images and visitor information. The castle is situated on the north coast of Caithness, in the parish of Canisbay, about 15 miles east of Thurso and six miles west of John O'Groats. It stands on rising ground about 400 yards from the seashore, overlooking the Pentland Firth and the Orkney Islands. It is thought that a fortified granary occupied the site originally.
