	Lifeboat!
		John checked his crew, the 6 oars of his 30 foot command all manned by men who knew all too well the risks they were taking, men who like himself had waited two years for this opportunity.
		John Smith did not hesitate when he viewed the troubled vessels from the shore, and promptly waded into the sea to help seven men to the shore and safety.
		John thought it a little ironic that in this second last year of war it was not an act of man-made violence that had seen the end of this vessel, but the natural elements causing the shifting of a cargo of grain, foundering the "Freidig" off Cape Wrath.

	Thurso Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Located on the north coast of Caithness, its seaward views are dominated by the distant cliffs of Dunnet Head to the north east, and those of the island of Hoy to the north.
		Modern Thurso tends to be seen as a stepping stone en route to somewhere else rather than as a destination in its own right, although the sometimes turbulent seas of the Pentland Firth have led to Thurso becoming an unlikely centre for surfing.
		Thurso is also a point of departure for those embarking on the best scenic route Scotland has to offer, the 140 miles taking in the north and west coasts via Durness to Ullapool.

	LibDems split on new generation of nuclear power stations - [Sunday Herald]
		John Thurso, the party’s Scotland spokesman, said new reactors could be the “the least worst option” for maintaining security of supply and reducing carbon emissions.
		Thurso also contradicted his party’s view on nuclear waste – Lib Dems believe the issue is unlikely to be resolved – by saying he was confident of a solution.
		“John Thurso is finally waking up to the facts of the situation that unless we are prepared to consider nuclear as an option, we are facing a major energy gap,” he said.

	John o'Groats - Wikitravel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		John o'Groats (Gaelic: Taigh Iain Ghròt [1]) 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 British 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.
		John o'Groats takes its name from one Jan de Groot, a Dutchman who obtained a grant for the ferry from the Scottish mainland to the island of Orkney, recently acquired from Norway, from the Scottish King James IV in 1496.

	John o' Groats Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		And while Dunnet Head to the west extends further north, and Duncansby Head to the east is probably a mile or two more distant from Land's End, John o' Groats is the place you start or finish if you want to cover the length of Britain playing hopscotch or pushing a pea with your nose.
		Coupled with the now well established John o' Groats ferry that carries foot passengers across the short distance to Orkney between May and September, and pleasure and adventure rides from the the harbour here, you begin to find, at last, a destination worth the journey.
		Walkers or cyclists approaching John o' Groats from Land's End reading of the closure of the hotel on their laptops need not despair: the hotel's bar remains open so you don't need to miss out on that landmark drink when you arrive.

	Hastigrow to John O'Groats
		John O'Groats, the ceremonial northeastern extremity of the nation, lays a mile and a half to the west and you reach it before getting to Duncansby Head itself.
		An aside may be of interest here - the said John Thurso was indeed elected by the voters of Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, and was the first hereditary peer ever to be elected to the House of Commons.
		John O'Groats may be the "official" northeastern extremity of the nation but the real northeastern tip is a mile and a half away yet, at Duncansby Head.

		But leaked correspondence from shadow Scottish secretary John Thurso MP, who favours nuclear power, suggests pressure is mounting within the party to reverse this policy.
		Further, I believe that steady pressure is beginning to bear fruit within parliament and wider public opinion.” Suspicions that Thurso might be winning the argument within the LibDems were reinforced on Thursday when Baker, a passionate advocate of the anti-nuclear case, suddenly resigned as environment spokesman.
		The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on Sunday warned Iran there would be "painful consequences" if it continued sensitive nuclear activities, adding that the United States was "beefing up defensive measures" in order to thwart its nuclear program, Reuters reported.

		One of the most magic aspects of this walk has been the views that we get from Mervan at night; most nights these are nothing to write home about, but at others they have been magical and even spiritual, and tonight is one of these nights.
