Thurso is the most northerly town on mainland Britain. As home to Scotland's most northerly railway station, it may be remote but it is far from isolated. Thurso is in the county of Caithness, bounded in the north by the Pentland Firth, to southwest by the county of Sutherland, and to the southeast by the North Sea. It is this location which gives Thurso its claim to fame: it is the 'Gateway to the Orkney Islands'. The estate agents in Thurso say that one of the things newcomers to Caithness comment on is the warmth of the people and the relaxed community atmosphere they find here. For families searching for property for sale in Thurso, it is a good place to raise a family. With serious crime almost unheard of, plenty of social and leisure activities to keep children (and their parents) happy, a full range of shops and services and good health care facilities. The majority of houses for sale in Thurso tend to be traditional stone built cottages and a selection of architect designed properties.
Thurso is a fairly small town with just about everything you need. There is a hospital, a swimming pool, doctors' surgeries, supermarkets, banking, a cinema, and schools for children of all ages, with further education available at the Thurso campus of the North Highland College. Wick, about 11 miles to the south-east, offers further amenities with a new supermarket and petrol station. Surfers considering Thurso property can take advantage of the tumultuous waters around Thurso, which have been compared with those of Hawaii, and where surfers gather from all over the world. Thurso is one of the favoured locations for the European Surfing Championships, confirming Thurso's esteemed place within the sport.
