2 - Duncansby Stacks, Caithness, Scotland
Duncansby Head is, in fact, the most northeasterly point of the British landmass, although it's frequently believed that this title belongs to its westerly neighbour, John o’Groats. All this means, however, is that this inconceivable spot remains a lot quieter than the ever-touristy John o’Groats. The Duncansby Stacks can be plant just off the seacoast in all their glory. The Great Mound comes in at over 60m high, rising just above the conterminous precipice.
