This is John O’Groats which is the most Northern town on the east coast of Scotland. The name comes from a Dutchman Jan de Groot who settled here in the late 1400’s. He built an Octagonal house for him and his seven sons and started a passenger ferry from the mainland to the Orkney isles. The payment given for this became known as the Groat .
Lots of people travel between here and lands end in England for charity and start by having their photo taken beneath the famous sign post.
