Lots of Fences around this marina section of the inner harbour at Wick in Caithness,

Construction of Wick Harbour began in 1803 and was completed by 1811. It soon became a bustling port and a major player in the Herring fishing industry,

In a street just behind the camera lives the Old Pulteney Distillery which is an aging malt whisky production facility in Pulteneytown. The distillery has a visitor centre in Huddart Street, and produces the Old Pulteney Single Malt whisky! worth a visit if you have the time!

HFF and a good weekend, large if you are able please!

A sunny North Sea and the small harbour at Staxigoe, located 2 miles east of Wick on the north-eastern coast of the former county of Caithness,
The few boats that still work from the harbour fish mainly for Crab and Lobster,

The unusual name is Norse and loosely translates to "inlet of the stack"

A very slight deviation from the main road and missed by many dashing past on the way to John O'Groats and the "North Coast 500 route!

Worth a look in large if the site will allow!

HBM and a lovely week to all!

Roger (Grisly) has posted:

Staxigoe Harbour, improved early 19th century. A natural haven with a gently sloping shingle beach, protected by long reefs. Quay walls have been added on both sides of the haven, This is a small rural village that still has a few local boats fishing mostly for crab and lobster it is situated on the east coast of Caithness,
It was once the largest Herring salting station in Europe with up to 50 herring boats anchoring at this small harbour.

Large if you wish.

The Seven Gates. This is a row of seven metal artworks forming gates over the entrances of Wick Harbour's salt cellars: the large chambers needed to store the salt used when packing herring into barrels. The gates were designed by artists Sue Jane Taylor and Liz O'Donnell and made by blacksmith Ian Sinclair,

Recommend a large view.

Post Box in pip

For my personal Post Box Tuesday, A King George VI (1936-1952) post box on the gate post of the Noss Head Lighthouse Station, the inscription on the box and below an image of the complex reads as follows.

This letter box is located here to save the Postie a half mile round trip from the main gate to our houses and offices each day, over a hundred miles saved a year,
The Postie will always be welcome up at the main house for a cup of tea,
This mailbox is for convenience when the Postie is very busy,
