Skarfskerry

Skarfskerry (or Scarfskerry; Scottish Gaelic: Sgarbh Sgeir) is a settlement located in the far northern county Caithness on a small peninsula northeast of Thurso off the A836 in Scotland.

The harbour is no longer used for commercial purposes, although boats operate in the area for small amounts of fishing and trips for tourists to see white-beaked dolphins, minke whales and harbor porpoises.

[3] The pier, about 150 yards (140 m) long, has a small bight on the southwestern side,[4] and a rocky beach continues towards the nearby settlement of Ham.

An RNLI Silver Medal was awarded to Coxswain Benjamin Stout in recognition of his gallantry when rescuing the crew of 22.

[7] In 1996, a fisherman's pattern anchor from the SS Victoria was raised by Thurso Sub Aqua Club (TSAC), and whilst residing for several years at a property in Scarfskerry was later presented by TSAC to Longhope Lifeboat station as a mark of respect for the heroic work carried out by the RNLI on a daily basis.
