Old Fish Market, Harbour Road
Wick, Highland Wick, a royal burgh since 1589, remained a small town until after 1801 when Thomas Telford planned the harbour and new town on behalf of the British Fisheries Society. By the middle of the 19th century, Wick was Europe's largest herring port. The Old Fish Market was probably constructed in the late 19th century. Its canopy is supported by cast iron columns and spandrels. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. '
