About

Thurso serves as the primary town for the vast Northwest Caithness ward, a large rural expanse on Scotland's northern coast. The area is defined by its dramatic coastline, which features cliffs, rocky inlets, and expansive stretches of moorland reaching toward the Pentland Firth. The landscape is open and exposed, shaped by persistent winds and a strong maritime influence. Economy here has traditionally been linked to the sea and agriculture on the peat-rich soil.

The town itself is a functional hub with a compact centre focused around its harbour. This port looks across the firth toward the Orkney Islands, with the ferry terminal providing a critical transport link. A notable local feature is the presence of some of the UK's most consistent surf, attracting enthusiasts to the beach at the river mouth. Inland, the scattered settlements and single-track roads emphasise the ward's sparse population and remote character.
