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.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Wick?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Wick in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wick?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wick in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
