This substantial site extends to  52  x  53 m   in size,  and boasts beautiful views of the scenic countryside. There are electric and water nearby, with drainage to a septic tank. This gap site is level, and is accessed off the main Gillock road which will help to keep development costs down.

Ideally located around 8 miles from Thurso, Gillock is a small village, which has a post office,  and a farming retail outlet. The nearest settlement is Bower, which is approximately three miles north of Gillock, where primary education can be obtained.
