Cape Wrath from the sea, Sutherland

Cape Wrath Cape Wrath is a high headland in the parish of Durness in Sutherland. It is the most north-westerly point on the mainland of Great Britain and one of only two places in Great Britain that are prefixed with "Cape", the other being Cape Cornwall in Cornwall. The cape is almost separated from the mainland by the Kyle of Durness, which severs any road connection, for the Kyle must be crossed by ferry. The cape consists of 107 square miles of moorland wilderness. Much of the cape is owned by the Ministry of Defence and is used as a military training area, including use as live firing range for heavy munitions. Other areas have various conservation designations. (Read more)
