Reasons to visit Dunnet Head

- History archive - the history archive is now permanently closed to the public and the artefacts have been donated to the Orkney Islands Council for their display at Scapa Flow Visitor Centre. We do, however, still collect artefacts and will donate to OIC to supplement the exhibition.

There is now a display about the pier at Brough Bay in the centre, and interested parties can call to make an appointment to view. Visitors to the B&B, campsite and self catering accommodation will be able to view the display as a matter of course.

- WW2 Military Sites in Caithness. The book "WW2 Military Sites in Caithness" by Andrew Guttridge is now available. The book is sponsored by Historic Scotland, Orkney Islands Council, Stromness British Legion and the Caithness Amateur Radio Society and includes promotion of the interpretation centre at Lyness, fomenting further cross Firth working.

Round up of activities during International Year of Biodiversity:

bootThe Caithness & Sutherland Walking Festival 2010 took place in May and walkers were able to visit some great places. Caithness is rich in biodiversity with its peatlands, wide open moorland and a wide range of species. The walking web site is now being updated so you can book your walks on line or download walks. You can explore some very special places such as Scotland's Haven and the Flow Country to name but two. More>>>

On 22 May 201David Attenborough0 the Trust took part in a link up with the David Attenborough Studio in London which has attracted a lot of attention to the far north, thereby increasing tourism revenue.

 

 

On 13 July, one of the Trustees attended the International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) Symposium in London - Global Business of Biodiversity. The objective was to look at "best practice" procedures and processes and to network with people of a like mind. Plans are underway for GBOB2 in 2011, linked with the CBD and the International Year of Forests. Outcomes material from the first GBOB conference, in an interactive on-line magazine format for your information. E-book

As a result of the visit, the Trust has joined the Princes Mayday Network, and several other useful contacts were made.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On 25 July 2009, participants were invited to join the Caithness Challenge and this was the launch of the heritage way which goes across peatland which has not been dug for over 50 years. An orienteering trail was laid, and several people enjoyed the event.
