At the far north eastern tip of the British mainland you'll find John O'Groats, the community that embraces End to Enders setting off for distant Lands End or arriving exhausted after the challenge of a lifetime. Named after the Dutch ferryman Jan de Groot, this tiny settlement boasts stunning views to Orkney and Stroma as well as vertiginous seabird laden cliffs at Duncansby Head and the unforgettable Stacks of Duncansby.
In this film you will learn about the JoG Development Trust's initiatives from Andrew Mowat (proprietor of the Seaview Hotel) in addition to the history of the First and Last Shop as told by Walter Mowat. You will also meet Teresa and Rebecca Wymer, the proud owners of Stacks, the best Deli and Coffee House in the far north.
John O'Groats is also an essential stop on any NC500 journey as well as a great base to explore the unique county of Caithness. Relax and unwind to the rhythms of the Pentland Firth.

Filmed in June 2021
