The beach and fissured cliffs.
The door in the rocks on the harbour side.
the bridge over the burn.
The sea stack on the beach side.
the slipway.
The harbour is hewn from natural rock and seems to grow out of the cliff walls which are presumably the local mudstone or Caithness flagstone as it is known.

Two words sum up Latheronwheel harbour; blooming gorgeous. It is a breathtaking spot, the combination of man made harbour and sea worn nature is amazing and it all flows into each other contiguously, there is nothing incongruous. As well as a lovely beach and a sheltered pool which will be good for swimming in summer, there is a narrow wooded strath where the burn flows out to the sea, with some broadleaf foliage, a mix of native and introduced trees, lots of wildlife including the elusive (though not round here) Roe Deer.
