The castle is in the far north of Scotland overlooking the Pentland Firth and the Orkneys . One of the former owners of the castle , the 14th Earl of Caithness opened many flagstone quarries in Caithness . The castle has extensive grounds and features a high protective wall , known as ' The Great Wall of Mey ' which shelters the woods and gardens . The walled garden was developed by the Queen Mother over many years .
