Living in Thurso
Thurso calls itself the energy town for good reason; it is long associated with Dounreay power station further along the coast and today is hard at work harnessing power through wind and water.
There is an energy which can be felt about this busy town also – the hub for the far north coast of Britain.
For a small and remote town there is an amazing buzz about the place. It is home to the main campus of the North Highland College, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands.
Its landmark building is home to courses all geared up to generate the skills for the upcoming workforce which will regenerate this area: science, engineering, construction and service industries such as hospitality, hairdressing and care and business accounting and computing.
The Far North Line and the A9 are the main transport links, along with flights from Wick John O’groats Airport linking to Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Ferries for the Northern Isles leave from neighbouring Scrabster, Gills Bay and John O’Groats.
Thurso High School is the most northern on the British mainland and takes pupils from the town’s Mount Pleasant, Miller Academy and Pennyland primary schools plus others in and around Thurso.
The northern coast of the UK is part of the new North Coast 500 route, a scenic circular road trip from Inverness which is generating a lot of interest amongst tourists.
Jobs in Thurso
As the main centre for the area Thurso has jobs in retail and service industries, and public sector NHS and council appointments, especially the North Highland College. It also has work at Dounreay, which is now in its decommissioning phase and in other alternative energy businesses.
The tourism and hospitality sector is also a major strength on the job market here along with land management, agriculture and transport, by land, sea and air.
Thurso is also home to a BT call centre.
