Holburn Head, a magnificent headland (306 feet) in Thurso parish, Caithness, flanking the W side of Thurso Bay, projecting from a peninsula between that bay and the North Sea, and terminating 2 miles N by W of Thurso town. The neighbouring rocks exhibit astonishing scenes of natural grandeur; and one of them, called the Clett, has been noticed separately.—Ord. Sur., sh. 116, 1878.
