Wick Heritage Museum

Reviewed By SwordMaiden - Newton Abbot, United Kingdom

Three of us popped in on the last Friday in October and the friendly volunteers explained that as we were lighthouse enthusiasts, we might want to come back the following day to meet a volunteer who had been a keeper. We had a wonderful Saturday and afternoon, in the company of a very knowledgeable man and after we had spent some time in the lighthouse section and particularly studying the optic, we spent a lot of time exploring the various different displays, each showcasing life in Wick. Excellent accounts of local history. It is a magical treasure trove of past lives and most people should find something to interest them. The museum thoroughly deserves all the plaudits

Pulteney Distillery Visitor Centre

Reviewed By caomhail - Manglaralto, Ecuador

Great rainy day activity. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their product. The shop has glassware as well as whisky. It can get busy if tour buses arrive - we were leaving as one arrived.

Old Wick Castle

Reviewed By Inspire401745 - Wakefield, United Kingdom

We were the only people on a hot sunny afternoon walking to the castle. There are beautiful views along the coast as you make your way to the ruin. Unfortunately there is very little left of the old castle but don’t let that put you off.
