Although it may be lesser known than other tourist destinations in Scotland, this small town in the north of Scotland is definitely worth visiting. Its unique charm lies in its rugged coastal landscape, historic landmarks, and friendly locals. One of the most striking landmarks in Wick is the Old Pulteney Distillery, which produces one of Scotland's most renowned single malt whiskies. Take a tour of the distillery and learn about the process of making whisky, and of course, sample some of the award-winning spirits. Another must-see attraction in Wick is the ruins of the Castle of Old Wick. The castle, which dates back to the 12th century, is situated atop a cliff overlooking the North Sea. Take in the stunning views and learn about the history of the castle and the area. Explore all that this area has to offer from one of our Wick holiday cottages.
