Cruises from John o'Groats
John o’Groats is a fishing village at the northern tip of Scotland, famed because of its location, the (almost) most northerly point on the island of Britain. At Land’s End in Cornwall, 972 km in a direct line to the SSW, is the most (almost) southerly point of Britain. It is a popular effort by tourists in Britain to pay homage to both locations. John o’Groates is often used as a starting or ending point for cycles, walks and charitable events to and from Land's End.
