In Scrabster pass the oil tanks at the beginning of the harbour , then turn right . Car Park £1.20 per day, but free during the evening. Hazards:
Paths obvious throughout, little need for directions. It is imporant not to stray outside the fence which marks the top, or the edge of the cliffs. Special care required around Deil's Brig at Holburn Head and around Clett Island. This is because of the erosion of the cliffs from the sea, causing suprising holes on the cliff top when the sea has eaten the cliff from below.
