Property in Wick

Wick (population 7,147) is a town in the North East of Scotland, bordering the Pentland Firth. The name comes from a Norse root, demonstrating the rich history of the region. A site of Pictish habitation, the Vikings later chose it for a settlement, before it was absorbed into the Kingdom of Scotland. Wick was later a vital port for Scotland’s fishing industry. Modern Wick is an enterprising town which is situated at an advantageously sheltered inlet. Due to its economic and geographical importance, Wick is connected to the rest of Britain by road, rail, harbour and air, being the site of the British mainland’s most northerly airport. The transportation provides Wick with a steady flow of tourists who come for the golf, hill-walking, bird-watching and many other activities. For the residents there are five primary schools and one secondary school.
