Seadrift-Dunnet Visitor Centre

Dunnet visitor centre

As well as being a Visitor Centre, Seadrift is used as a base for
Highland Council Rangers. They manage a number of sites in the countryside and organise walks, wildlife watches and activities for schools. You can find us at the north end of Dunnet sands about 1mile from Dunnet village.
