The Tourist in Scotland: John O' Groat's, 1881. 'John O' Groat's House Hotel; The Great Stack; The Gloop [sic]; Duncansbay Head; Wolf's Ghoe; Fishing Boats; Buchollie Castle...That famous place, the Northern Land's End of Great Britain, has lately been made commodious for the resort of summer tourists by the establishment of a neighbouring Hotel, a rather stately mansion, in the Scottish baronial style of architecture, which is shown among our Illustrations. The others display the most striking features of the cliff scenery at Duncansby Head, with the detached fragments of old red sandstone rock called the Stacks, a mile or two east of John o'Groat's, the "Ghoop," and one of the "Ghoes," or deep hollows, cut by the ocean waves far into the cliff, which are peculiar to this coast of Caithness...Our Artist has also introduced a sketch of the romantic piece of ruin called Buchollie Castle, on the east coast of Caithness, on the Noss, a short distance from the seaport town of Wick'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
