Actually not a real street at all, more of a product of bureaucracy. But it's funny.

The Trinkie ("the trench") is a natural sea water pool created about 70 years ago from part of a quarry. There is an active heritage society who put a lot of effort into repairing and maintaining the pool so that it is fit for use. If you like outdoor swimming, you just have to visit the Trinkie.

Lots to capture your attention at Wick harbour. Alongside the attractive boats, there is a lighthouse on both North and South piers, also a lifeboat station, fog cannon and other landmarks to take note of.

Welcome to Ebenezer Place, Wick. Recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as being the world's shortest street at 2.06 m (6 ft 9 in). It's pretty exclusive - the street only has one address: the entrance to No. 1 Bistro, part of Mackays Hotel. The hotel has other frontages on Union Street and River Street, but save yourself the journey and use the one on Ebenezer Place.

The port city of Wick is located on the north-east coast of Scotland about 410 km north of Edinburgh and about 1060 km north of London. Wick, with a population of 7155, is the county town of Caithness. The name Wick is apparently derived from the Norse word for bay.

The Wick harbour lighthouse on the end of the south pier. Wick harbour was an important port in the 19th century herring industry, nowadays it's still a fishing port but also caters for pleasure craft.

When you look at it, you wonder how this came about. It seems as if all segments of Earth time have simply been flipped over and cut off.
