John O'Groats has one major attraction. It's the _only_ ground for 20 miles that is firm enough to stand on, yet soft enough enough to get a tent peg into it. Two of us spent a windily unsuccessful night trying to camp anywhere nearby once, before we admitted defeat and paid up for the official campsite. You can't just kip inside a motorbike (or for that matter, probably a Smart)
Orkney is of course far better. That's worth the trip, the end of the mainland isn't.
