Scrabster is a small, yet busy fishing harbour and ferry port. The ferry leaves for Orkney twice a day. Sea angling is also popular from Scrabster and the sea fishing is excellent with good catches on most days for anglers going out fishing on the several boats that can be chartered for day or in the summer evening trips. The harbour is under proposed development into a marina and this will greatly increase the leisure and business opportunities to the local Caithness area.
