About Thurso East
Thurso East is a coastal area located just 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of Thurso in Caithness, northern Scotland, at the mouth of the River Thurso. This region is notable for its stunning Caithness flagstone reef and is renowned as Scotland's premier surfing destination on the north coast, making it a significant spot for both recreational activities and potential planning applications related to tourism and coastal management. The remnants of Thurso Castle add historical interest to the landscape.
