There's an HSS agent across the road from Thurso Station. We hired one from there a while ago. They charge £33 a day and £16 for each additional day. You'll get all the safety gear too.

OK guys don't get excited. My apologies onecalledk; when you enquired about hiring a strimmer I took it to mean a brush cutter rather than a dinky edge trimmer. The HSS one is a 4 stroke petrol engined beasty for clearing your overgrown ground before you start digging or rotovating.
