Thurso is the most northerly town on mainland Britain, situated on the north coast of the Highland council area of Scotland. The town, with its historic character, sits at the mouth of the River Thurso where it meets the Pentland Firth.

Originally a Viking settlement, Thurso developed as a fishing port and later became an important harbor town during the 19th century. The town's architecture reflects its rich history, with notable Victorian buildings and the remnants of its medieval past, including the ruins of Old St Peter's Church.

Today, Thurso serves as a gateway to the Orkney Islands and maintains its role as a significant cultural center in the northern Highlands, blending its maritime heritage with contemporary Scottish culture.
