At Noss Head cliffs to the NE of the castles there are nesting puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, cormorants, fulmars etc. However their numbers have declined drastically recently. Access to the cliffs at the lighthouse is restricted as its now a private residential property but permission can be obtained from the owner.
Another good spot just outside Wick are the cliffs south of the Castle of Oldwick.
About 20 mils north of Wick the cliffs at Duncansby Head can also be recommended, as can Dunnet Head.
