John o'Groats Gaelic: Taigh Iain Ghròt (http://www.visitjohnogroats.com/) is a small village in the traditional Scottish county of Caithness and the Highlands region of Scotland. John o'Groats is popularly thought of as the northernmost point on the mainland the counterpart to Land's End in Cornwall - although not actually the northernmost point this honour belongs to Dunnet Head nearby, John o'Groats is certainly the northernmost settlement on Great Britain.
