About Durness Spar & Filling Station
Durness is the most northwesterly village on mainland Britain, a scattered community of crofts with a dramatic setting above a series of white sand beaches. The SPAR shop and filling station is the community hub, containing the post office and one of the very few shops in this remote region. Smoo Cave, a spectacular sea cave system, is a 15-minute walk away. Fill up here before heading east along the north coast toward Tongue and Thurso.

⚠️ NC500 Fuel Warning: Fuel stations on the North Coast 500 can be very far apart, especially on the west and north coasts. Some stretches exceed 50 miles with no fuel available. Many stations close early and are not open on Sundays. Always fill up when you can — do not wait until the low-fuel warning light appears.
