"I’m trying to do this at the moment too. West of bettyhill, I’ve only done the bit to sletell so far. I found this bit really enjoyable, but I did not hug the coastline, I did do some bits on the road. Cutting back to the coast when I would see paths."
At Skerray bay. I found I could not continue on the coast past the pier and had to head back along the road.
In 2002, we input to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. The paths are currently under review. The Highland Council maintains these paths.
Duncansby Head to The Haven
This is a linear coastal and road-walk route along the grassy banks. Seals have been known to 'track' walkers along the way, also there are possible sightings of dolphins and whales. When passing the rear of the Castle of Mey there might be Royalty staying in the castle, so keep an eye out for the patrolling police.
There are some problem areas
We keep trying to persuade Dounreay to fund the project to get people off the road, but they refuse to assist. Allegedly the site is being decommissioned, but is used to fund the area with high level jobs and apprentices. All to the good, but people's safety does not seem to worry them. Now in fact, they are reported to Ethical Standards.
The Sutherland spaceport, also known as Space Hub Sutherland or UK Vertical Launch (UKVL) Sutherland, is a planned spaceport to be located in Sutherland in Scotland. It would be the first vertical launch capable spaceport in the United Kingdom, and operated by a commercial entity. The spaceport is intended to support the Orbex Prime launch vehicle.The spaceport will be located on the A' Mhòine peninsula northwest of Tongue village, Sutherland, Scotland. Groundbreaking occurred on 5 May 2023. Progress is slow, and information on Wikipedia is out of date. We are investigating thoroughly with the Space Agency and have reported HIE, who fund this project, also to Ethical Standards for abuse of the developer of the Way.
West of Bettyhill
Have any of you guys walked west of Bettyhill on the coast. Looking for general info on the coastal path and anything to be aware of. Planning the next stages of my coastal journey in that direction. Happy to go ahead & explore independantly, I just also like to hear how others have found it too?
On that note 6th May I have made plans for! So apologies to anyone who was looking out for my group walk plan. I will be back though honest! When?...is the question!

This is how you get to the place for a log on the passport.
