Wick is the principal county town for Caithness,situated approximately 100 miles north of Inverness and connected via the A9/A99 Trunk road, the Inverness to Wick/Thurso rail line and Wick Airport. Thurso and Scrabster are approximately 20 miles to the north-west, with regular ferries to Orkney, complemented by the ferry service from Gills Bay to Orkney.The world famous NC 500 route passes through
Wick and has raised the profile of the area. The economy has a blend of sectors including onshore and offshore wind, oil and gas, agriculture and food and drink,
with the long term decommissioning of the Dounreay nuclear facility securing significant activity. Rolls Royce, BT and Subsea 7 are key employers and the Beatrice Offshore Windfarm, led by SSE Renewables, is one of the largest ever private sector infrastructure projects in Scotland, with its O&M base at Wick Harbour. The land is located at Wick Airport Industrial Estate, on the north eastern outskirts of Wick adjacent to the A99 Thurso/John O’Groats road and Wick/John O’Groats Airport, which has regular connections with Aberdeen. There are a variety of occupiers including Stagecoach, Halfords, Wolseley, Highland Council, The Scottish Ambulance Service, Ashley Ann and The Driving Standards Agency.
The land extends to a gross developable area of 0.65 acres excluding a small sub-station on the land. It is generally sloping and presently laid to grass with two potential access points off the adopted estate road. This is a good opportunity to secure a prominent site for either owner occupation or potential development opportunities.
