Keiss is a fishing village at the northern end of Sinclairs Bay on the east coast of Caithness.
Keiss Castle, which is now partially ruined, is located less than 1 mile north of the village centre, on sheer cliffs, overlocking the bay, and has been a major tourist attraction for many years. Keiss House replaced Keiss Castle around 1755.
