*************

John o' Groats (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh Iain Ghròt) is a village 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) northeast of Canisbay, Caithness, in the far north of Scotland. John o' Groats lies on Great Britain's northeastern tip, and is popular with tourists as one end of the longest distance between two inhabited British points on the mainland, with Land's End in Cornwall lying 876 miles (1,410 kilometres) southwest. However, it is not the northernmost point of Great Britain, which is the nearby Dunnet Head.

John o' Groats is 690 mi (1,110 km) from London, 280 mi (450 km) from Edinburgh, 6 mi (10 km) from the Orkney Isles and 2,200 mi (3,500 km) from the North Pole. It is 4 1⁄4 mi (6.8 km) from the uninhabited Island of Stroma.

In summer, a ferry operates between John o' Groats and Burwick on South Ronaldsay in Orkney.[1]

Please ask if you need any other information and I will do the best I can to answer.
