We also have a unique collection of photographs showing the Queen Mother and Royal Family as you have never seen before. Mounted prints of most of the photographs are available for purchase, as is a range of local craftwork.


The local heritage provides plenty of interest for visitors and exploration of the local attractions can take up as much or as little time as our guests like.  The Royal Gallery, situated to the west end of the hotel, offers a unique photographic insight into the Queen Mother's life in Caithness.  The gallery is open all year round, entry is free and selected prints are available to purchase.  

There is something for everyone in Caithness, those who prefer to take it easy will find studying the abundance of seabirds and other other wildlife or exploring the coves and small harbours a fascinating experience. For the more energetic there is sea fishing, pony trekking and golf.
Other attractions include Gills Bay, the Castle of Mey, Dunnet Head, Reay, Mary-Ann's Cottage, Dunnet Kirk, the Ranger Centre, Olrig Kirk and the Flagstone Heritage Trail.

We invite you to come and join us in this magnificent setting and explore the heritage which we enjoy so much.
