From the Wikipedia article
Huna House is a Victorian building located in the small village of Huna in Canisbay, north of Caithness. Built in 1870 as the Huna Hotel, it is listed as a historic place at Historic Environment Scotland. The hotel, located on the eastern edge of a rocky coastline and an intertidal sandbank from Huna House to Scotland's Haven, sits on a short cliff with views of the Island of Stroma, the double-lighthouse of Pentland Skerries, and the Orkney Islands.

Background
History
The building was greatly modernised in 1879. Seven bedrooms were located on the second floor along with one toilet which was supplied from a well in the roof. It was run in April 1894 by John Calder, who then became bankrupt. The lease for the building was assigned to his wife who was to run the inn, which was also her residence. In 1903, James Calder was identified as the proprietor. Mrs. Isabella Calder ran the nearby John o' Groats House Hotel at that time. In 2013, it was described as a ruin, with evidence of a previous boat slip and a harbour.
