Old Photograph Staxigoe Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Staxigoe near Wick, Scotland. The name of this Scottish village, located on the North East coast of Caithness, comes from the Norse, " the inlet of the stack ". It was once the largest herring salting station in Europe, but its fishing industry went into decline with the construction of a larger port in central Wick.
