Old photograph of a Scottish carpenter in Wick, Caithness, Scotland. Wick's history stretches back, at least, to the era of Norwegian rule in Caithness, which ended, conclusively, in 1266's Treaty of Perth. The name Wick appears to be from a Norse word, vík, meaning bay, also the word viking. The Castle of Old Wick is situated approximately 2 kilometres south east of the town on the North Sea coast.
