Wick
Wick is a historic harbour town close to the far northeastern point of the Scottish mainland. Globally famous for its drama-filled coastal scenery, Norse heritage, and peaceful atmosphere, Wick offers wide-open landscapes, and a more traditional slower pace of life. One of the most northerly towns in mainland Britain, it has a unique identity shaped by its maritime past, and untouched Highlands surroundings.
Built up around the mouth of the River Wick, where it gets its name, the town spreads inland across dense neighbourhoods. Key areas include the town centre which groups shops, cafés, banks and historic buildings linked to the town’s storied past. Pulteneytown is the former boom town district with a distinct grid layout. The residential suburbs of Haster and Scalesburn are close to school zones and amenities. South Head and North Head’s windswept regions border the coastal cliffs. Head to Staxigoe and Broadhaven for nearby villages with beautiful seascapes. Wick attracts outdoors lovers and hikers, remote workers, retirees, and families seeking an affordable life. When in town visit the Wick Heritage Museum and the Castle of Old Wick to dive into the history of this fascinating town. Caithness festivals and local music sessions in pubs keep the energy high.
Nightlife is low energy but sociable. From traditional pubs with live music to hotel bars, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Looking to share the vibe with someone special, scroll up to browse hookers in Wick.
