Continuing north, you'll arrive at Wick, one of the oldest Viking settlements in the UK. You will have free time to explore its historic center and enjoy a typical lunch (not included) while taking in views of Wick Bay.

After lunch, you'll drive for another half an hour to John o' Groats. Here, you can stroll along the seafront cliff and enjoy panoramic views of the Scottish Highlands. You may spot Atlantic puffins, grey seals, and orcas in the area.

After your time in John o' Groats, you'll return to Inverness, making brief stops at Dunbeath port and Brora for photo opportunities. You will arrive back in Inverness after a total of 11 hours of exploration.
