The castle of Wick is also known as the "Old Man of Wick". Built in the 12th century by Norwegians and thought to be the stronghold of Harold Maddadsson. All that remains today is a tall tower sitting on the edge of steep cliffs, on a spine of rock, projecting into the sea between two deep, narrow gullies. Abandoned in the 15th century, all that remains is a tall tower.
