Join me for a walk around the centre of Wick, the second-most northerly town on the island of Great Britain! With over a thousand years of riveting history concentrated on just a few small roads, this former Viking stronghold in the far north of Scotland developed to be the world's biggest herring port, and is now even home to the world's shortest street too!

On our walk around Wick, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Wick River, the Mackays Hotel, Ebenezer Place (the world's shortest street), Wick War Memorial, Bridge Street, Wick Town Hall, The Royal National Mòd Flower Clock, Wick Bridge Street Church, Wick High Street, Wick Market Place, The Alexander Bain Pub (former Post Office), The Camps Bar, Wick Harbour Bridge, Wick Bay, Pulteneytown, Telford House, Telford Street, Wick Harbour, The Old Fog Cannon, Wick Memorial Garden, Wick Heritage Museum, Bank Row and Wick River once again.
