Looking southwest along the A99 towards Lybster. Morven, Scaraben and the coast around Berriedale [?] are visible in the distance about 30km away. Google Street View imagery from 2008 shows that there has not been much change in the intervening 34 years - the drystone wall at the left has been replaced, and white lines have appeared at the road edge. Also it is likely that the three corn stacks seen in the yard to the left of the cottage are a thing of the past. Thanks to Karen Messruther, whose 'Highland Insider' website http://www.highland-insider.co.uk/2012/08/the-big-skies-and-old-stories-of-caithness/ gave me a clue to where I'd taken the photo.
