The stacks of Duncansby are spectacular rock formations off the eastern cliffs of Duncansby Head.

​

They can be seen from the cliff top of the headland (see map below) by following a short walk from the lighthouse heading south.

​

Puffins, eider duck, skuas, peregrines and more can be see from the path, nesting or feeding around the cliffs and the stacks themselves.

​

The winds are often very strong, so take care along the cliff edge. We strongly advise walking boots / wellies as it can be boggy, particularly when wet.

 

One of the most highly rated places to visit in Caithness by our guests.
