Situated a few miles short of the most north easterly point on the Scottish mainland, Wick is one of the major settlements in the far north of the country. The town boasts a population of over seven thousand and is a major cultural centre for the wider Caithness area.

Flights into Wick Airport (WIC)

While Wick and the northeast tip of Scotland may seem far away, thanks to air travel they are closer than you think. Wick Airport (WIC) is just over a mile north of the town of Wick, and offers easy access to the northernmost reaches of Scotland.

The town is also joined to the rest of the country by rail, but traveling by air makes the area even easier to reach. With this in mind, Wick is the perfect gateway to the Northern Highlands as well as to the Orkney Islands to the north.

Fly to Caithness and Explore Northern Scotland

Regularly scheduled flights go to Wick Aiport from both Aberdeen Airport (ABZ) and Edinburgh Airport (EDI), allowing history buffs and hikers to travel to this area with a short flight. With the combination of remoteness, stunning windswept scenery, and unique culture, the region is always worth exploring and discovering.

Visit Historic Wick in Caithness

Originally a Viking settlement, Wick sits at the mouth of the Wick River and was originally two separate towns, Wick and Pulteneytown. The latter was named for Sir William Pulteney who masterminded the once-small settlement’s transformation into a fishing village after the Highland Clearances. The name lives on in the title of the town’s whisky distillery Old Pulteney.

Explore Wick's Ancient Castles

Wick is home to a number of historical ruins, the most prominent of which is the 12th century Castle of Old Wick, one of the best preserved Norse castles in Scotland. Three miles north of Wick are the dramatic ruins of the 15th century Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, and a short distance to the east is the 16th century Ackergill Tower, which now acts as a five-star hotel and events venue.

Visit Dunnet Head in Caithness

The area’s other major town Thurso is also only a half hour away by car. The area around Thurso is also rich in things to do and see, with Dunnet Bay Beach and Dunnet Head Lighthouse nearby. The small peninsula where these attractions are found is in fact the most northerly point on the British mainland, and as such is a must-see spot for people visiting the area.

Take a Trip to Thurso

The town of Thurso itself has plenty to offer. This charming location is the most northerly in Scotland and has a long history stretching back to Norse rule. The town boasts the Caithness Horizons museum, which offers a permanent exhibition detailing the story of the Caithness region throughout its history and up to the present day. The museum also has a number of Pictish and Norse symbol stones on display.

The Scottish northeast should be on your list of must-visit places if you like history, castles, and stunning scenery. Start planning your trip to this beautiful area of Scotland by using the Expedia search tool to investigate hotel and flight prices.

How to survive the flight to Wick?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Wick could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wick?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Wick, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
