Thurso is a small city in Scotland. A pretty river of the same name flows through the city and there is a lovely port situated in the river estuary.
The Thurso coastline possesses pretty beaches; from the coast you can see the isle of Orkney and the Old Man of Hoy, a pile of rocks composed of a red material.
Even though the city is small, it has numerous places of interest, such as a small museum, cinemas, galleries and exhibitions.
If you want to have fun, you will find places such as pubs, restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs. The city’s castle is an important site; it is currently abandoned and only its ruins remain. The architecture is still standing, although it has suffered some damage.
In any case, it is a place you should not fail to see. Thurso is a surfing city; it is currently hosting the Europa Surf and Kayak Surf championships.
You will find the ruins of St. Peters church in the city. Discover Thurso, enjoy its comforts and services, and rest in the midst of a spectacular landscape.

Staff were generally friendly and happy to provide a pot of tea - apparently for free - at the tables in the reception.
