I was expecting it to be like Landsend in Cornwall, steep rugged cliffs, but no flat sandy type beach was a real surprise. I went up the 2 years running and did the "sights" and the countryside and have to admit I loved it.
Next time you come up to Groats get the boat over to Stroma, the wee island you can see just off the Mainland. It was deserted a while back and people just left their homes. It's like a time warp from another age and interesting to look around.
I pass through Groats at least a couple of times a month on my way to the Duncansby Cliff walk and the Sea Stacks.
