it was for me lorries thundering past . hi speed motorbikes. really really noisy in a canvas top. was like being on that farm on the m62 from 6am onward.
I have never really noticed that road as being busy. It does go from nowhere to nowhere, if you call Thurso and Doomsday fast breeder nowhere. Having walked along it from the Dunnet head turn off to John O'Groats I would have noticed
However I take your point about road noise when sleeping upstairs. It is one of the reasons why I often choose to sleep downstairs, not an option when I have my dogs with me
My suggestion, if ever up that way again, is to park at John'o'Groats car park: not the big one but around the other side, by the tourist shops, just before the bus turn round. Very quiet, no noise at all, toilets open all night, water tap outside the craft shop and pub just up the road. The added benefit is it is free.
