It is the most northwesterly point on the island of Great Britain. The land between the Kyle of Durness and the lighthouse that is situated right at the tip, is known as the Parph, two hundred and seven square kilometers of virtually uninhabited moorland. The first road (now named the `U70`) in the district, built in 1828 by the lighthouse commission, was constructed across the Parph (580 37.5 N. Latitude; 500 00.0 W. Latitude) to Britain`s most north westerly point. This road, is only accessible via the passenger ferry that crosses the Kyle of Durness.
