At 87m it's not the highest point on South Ronaldsay but it does give great views all around from the entrance to Scapa Flow in the west, south towards John O'Groats and mainland Scotland, east across the island and out to sea and north over the Churchill Barriers which link this island to Burray and Mainland. It's on the road but it's quiet so it's a great spot to stop and have a break.
