Situated in the North Highlands of Scotland is the town of Wick within easy reach of the A99, A9 and John O'Groats. It is home to the 12th Century Castle of Wick, also known as Old Man of Wick, and the fascinating Heritage Museum which focusses on the Herring-Boom era in the town. Ebenezer Place is the worlds shortest street according to the Guiness Book of World Records and it can be found here in Wick.

All the guidebooks about the North of Scotland suggest that it is a baron moorland only populated by scattered villages, which is true to a degree.

However, those travelling up the A9 and then A99 might have a surprise in the form of the little town of Wick, which looks remarkably like any other Scottish town - a far cry from a remote, seldom visited enclave of a place.

Wick isn't the most northerly town - that honour goes to Thurso, but it does somehow feel like the beginning or end of civilisation until you head out across the ferry towards the Orkney Islands.

I didn't get chance to spend long there, but another big advantage of Wick - it seems far enough away to have avoided getting a Tesco... So far.
