The best time to go to Latheron is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally at its mildest and the days are long.
During these months, you'll experience the longest daylight hours, which is great for exploring the Caithness coastline and the surrounding countryside. Temperatures are typically pleasant, ranging from 15°C to 20°C, making outdoor activities like hiking, birdwatching, and visiting historical sites more enjoyable. The longer days also mean you have more time to travel to nearby attractions like the Castle of Mey or the town of Wick without feeling rushed.
For those interested in wildlife, particularly seabirds, late spring and early summer (May to July) are ideal. This is when many species are nesting along the cliffs, offering fantastic viewing opportunities at places like the Dunnet Head nature reserve, a short drive from Latheron. The blooming wildflowers also add to the scenic beauty during this period.
If you prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) can also be good. The crowds are typically smaller, and the landscape takes on beautiful colours, particularly in autumn.
