Keiss (Scottish Gaelic: Cèis) is a fishing village at the northern end of Sinclairs Bay on the east coast of Caithness in the Scottish council area of Highland.^[1]

Keiss castle

Keiss Castle, which is now partially ruined, is located less than 1 mile north of the village centre, on sheer cliffs, overlooking the bay, and has been a major tourist attraction for many years. Keiss House replaced Keiss Castle around 1755.
