Everyone knows that Scotland is considered one of the best places in Europe for outdoor sports, but did you know that a little town on Scotland's northernmost mainland tip is considered one of the best places in the world to surf?
Unlikely as it seems, Thurso on the Caithness coast, has been named as one of the best places to catch a wave, joining locations in places such as the US, Australia, Mexico and Bali in a study by ParkSleepFly, which analysed various factors such as Google searches, Instagram tags, coastline length, and average sea temperatures to reveal the best surfing spots around the world.
The picturesque Highlands town will be familiar to those tourists and visitors who have taken on the North Coast 500 (NC500) route but might be surprised to know it's in demand for surfing too.
