Wick

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia


Wick is a royal burgh in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland. It was originally a Viking settlement, which was expanded as a herring fishery in the early nineteenth century to house crofters cleared from their lands.

The town lies on the east coast. It has a small airport, a railway station and a heritage centre.
