Thurso residents and those utilising Thurso station to visit, will once again have the added convenience of a large department store with a broad product range without the premium price tags usually attached! Why not visit the store to stock up on essentials for your stay at a hotel in Thurso.Thurso Scotland

The town known widely for the river Thurso and the views from the beach looking out on to Orkney a mile and a half to the North West which make this town a picturesque sight and keep ensuring its victory as Scotland’s town of the year for the past 14 years running. The area is still known to this day as Old Thurso or the Old Town which is evident from the medieval remains which date back to the early 1100’s. If you are planning a visit to Thurso be sure to visit the Old St. Peter’s Church which can be wandered around and is a “must see” along with the remains of Thurso Castle on the eastern edge of the river.

Though there are many medieval sights to be seen this does not make the town limiting as the sights can be enjoyed by visitors and shoppers of all ages and backgrounds. There are a number of beautiful hotels in Thurso, one of these being the Holborn a family run hotel situated close to the beach and the Castle of Mey, John O Groats and the Ferry Terminal at Scrabster. Thurso Scotland also boasts a modern museum that brings together three previously separate collections to now be housed under one roof in the Town Hall and Carnegie Library. In addition, the high street has become completely pedestrianised in what has become known as Thurso’s New Town due to the widened streets ensuring that shopping is a pleasant experience in the town. Residents now need not worry about crossing busy and traffic laden streets and can shop in safety.
