About Dunbeath

Dunbeath is a small village with 2 small shops, Post Office,and a public bar/family restaurant. There is a small harbour, heritage centre, 2 playparks, tennis courts, a small village hall and church. Buses pass through the village both northbound and southbound, throughout the day. Nearest town is Wick, 21 miles away witha range of shops and supermarkets.

Dunbeath is a quiet village sitting at the mouth of the Dunbeath Water reaching its end after flowing through a broad strath to arrive at Portormin Harbour. The cliffs on the south side are overlooked by the stunning Dunbeath Castle perched right on the edge and said to have underground tunnels.The castle dates from the 14th century.

The beautiful strath offers peaceful walks for those keen to experience nature and wildlife along with unique scenery. Dunbeath is unique in that it boasts a wide range of historic discoveries and heritage. The birthplace of famous writer and novelist Neil Gunn (1891 - 1973) and home to several key archaeological finds, including the Ballachly stone and The Dunbeath Broch, whichis reckoned to be about 2000 years old. this is reflected in the Dunbeath Heritage Centre. The Laidhay croft museum brings the farming past of the far north to be rediscovered complimented by a small tea rooms alongside. Dunbeath harbour itself was built about 1800 and in 1814 had 155 boats. At one time ice was cut in the river in winter and stored in the ice house at the harbour. A fishing village whose importance declined as small fishing boats became less profitable.Small boats still use the harbour mainly for creel fishing. Just outside Dunbeath a 19th century whalebone arch still stands but this is thought to be from a stranded whale rather than evidence of whaling.
