Located 3.5 miles south of Dunnet Head.
References to St Mary's Parish Church are known from as far back as the 13th century and there are pre-16th century gravestones in the churchyard. It undoubtedly has pre-reformation origins and the cartographer, Timothy Pont, was a notable minister here in 1610.
The church is assumed to have been dedicated to St Mary from the fact that the main fair was held on the Tuesday after Marymas, 15th August, on the Marymas Green.
