This staircase cut into the cliff 5 miles north of Lybster provides access to a tiny natural harbor, with an ideal grassy picnic spot, ringed by vertical cliffs and echoing with the cackle of nesting fulmars. The path begins at the end of the minor road opposite the road signposted "Cairn of Get." There's a good Whaligoe Steps Cafe at the top.
