We had a great afternoon here! We could have been there longer but time was pressing to drive to the next campsite. All the staff were lovely, especially Lynn who gave us a guided tour. Her knowledge was excellent and really enriched our visit. My husband, children and I would all recommend a trip there!
Superb museum detailing the history of the various aspects of life in the area. The Herring fishing industry made Wick the greatest in the world, and with it subsidiary industries like rope + net making. A record 24 million fish was gutted by 3,000 women on 23/8/1864, which averages at 10 fish per minute for each female worker. Other areas of interest are Caithness Glass, other Maritime aspects, and agriculture.
Absolutely totally superb. This museum is seriously massive. Lots and lots of exhibits from the area through the ages. well worth travelling to if you are ever in the north of Scotland, I drove for 5 hours to get to the town, and this was the best thing in the place, and the local chip shop. The volunteers are very knowledgeable.
Absolutely wonderful museum managed by lovely people. An absolute must stop for those who are driving the NC500. The museum provides so much history about the way of life in Wick, which gives the NC500 experience a lot more depth and understanding of the place you are driving through.
Fabulous collection of memorabilia. You could spend hours looking at exhibits and listening to the stories of the town.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a very good local history museum. Run entirely by volunteers, it is in a number of converted cottages and workshops. As a result it is on different levels, and requires a fair bit of going up and down stairs. There is a stair lift available and a manual wheelchair to use on the upper floor for those who need it. The museum is full of interesting artefacts covering a wide range of local life, including but not limited to, the fishing industry that Wick was based upon. Tour guides are available included in the entry fee, to give useful information and show visitors around. There is an extensive display of photos taken by the Johnston family, local photographers, starting from 1860 and continuing until relatively recently. The quality of the shots is amazing and captures pastiches of local life. There is so much to see, one visit is unlikely to be enough. Adults cost £4, which is good value and goes towards the museums upkeep.
One of the best local museums in Scotland. The staff are friendly very helpful. We even got taken around initially So all the different aspects of the museum could be explained. It has a terrific amount of items that takes you though the local history and is well put together. A brilliant history lesson.
Brilliant attraction staffed by lovely, enthusiastic volunteers. We popped in for what we thought might be a brief visit and ended up in there for hours chatting about all sorts with the team. They have obviously put a lot of time, effort and energy into the museum and it really shows. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in the area. Our guide, Lyn, was very pleasant and did a great job giving us the tour and answering questions
A really interesting, varied and poignant collection of artefacts representing historic life in Wick over the last three centuries. It's an old-style museum and could do with a bit of upgrading, not least in terms of space. The photographs of people and places bring you close to something lost. "The past in another country. They do things differently there." J.P.Hartley
Absolutely fascinating place, so many interesting exhibits, well worth a visit, make sure you have a good 2hours to go round the museum. Staff extremely friendly, welcoming and informative. Brilliant afternoon.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
