Dwarwick Pier: the original small stone pier was constructed and funded by the Caithness County Council and the people of Dunnet between 1893 and 1897. In 1955 HMRY Britannia anchored off Dwarwick Pier for the first and only time. Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and Princess Anne landed at Dwarwick Pier to visit the Queen Mother at her Castle of Mey. This landing was commemorated by the erection by Caithness Council of a flagstone plaque. Severe storms washed away the lower slipway and pier during the winters of 1969 and 1970. Dwarwick Pier Association was formed and improvements were undertaken with assistance from various agencies. The area is an attraction to a large number of local people and tourists. It is a favourite place to launch small boats or fish off the end of the pier in relatively deep water.
The container is a screw lid beaker.
