Walking in the far north of Scotland

There are so many opportunities to explore the north-east of Scotland close to the Ulbster Arms Hotel that you will want to come back year after year. Even the same walks can offer different sights and wildlife during different seasons. What might be a relaxing countryside walk in summer can be a challenging snow hike in winter. From rugged coastal trails to peaceful woodland paths our region is rich in natural beauty, history and delights.

Nearby tourist destinations like John O’Groats and Dunnet Head make for a memorable trip to Scotland. There are few places in Scotland where you can see the country in its rawest form, with hundreds of years worth of history to explore on foot. Caithness walks are great for all abilities. Kids will love exploring the vast open wilderness, and there are many well-maintained paths for those with access needs. Book your stay with Ulbster Arms Hotel and use us as your base for a fantastic break in Scotland. If you have any questions or need advice for walks in the area, just speak to us and we’ll be delighted to help.
