Being an outsider and having lived in Caithness from '91-'02 I must say I preferred Thurso, however I must also point out that the county as a whole has the best people I've ever had the good fortune to live amongst-I miss it enormously.

Have changed question to be " fair "

Having lived in both places, I think Thurso is the nicest with a nice beach and shops, but I think wick has better park gardens and scenery.

All of Caithness is beautiful, but if there had to be a choice I would have to say Thurso has much more scenery to offer and more places to go for long walks etc...

Personally I'd say Wick has the better scenery. Travelling to Wick from any direction (From South, North or Thurso road) great cenery without any big eyesores unlike the college in Thurso and the new Dounreay building. I'd also compare the two rivers running through the town by saying that the Wick river, although a complete mess in the past, looks a lot nicer than Thurso river as you cross the bridge and has more characteristics to it. Wick town centre is now beginning to look more modern than Thurso.

But then.. I don't mind both places.

If Thurso didnt have the big silly looking building( an they moan about windmills) to the west side of it , then Thurso wouold walk it BUT Wick is absolutely wonderful from the Air-maybe 3-4 miles west looking east, it is a brilliant site/pic/town. I regularly use the plane & the views are magic

It is no contest - Thurso by a country mile.

I agree, it is a Catch 22 situation, both have their good and bad points, IMO it is an impossible question to answer.

Yep, go along with you-shut it down.

Born and lived in Thurso for 25 yrs approx, now lived in Wick for 38yrs, both have excellent scenery, with good walking and great views around the outskirts, but I prefer Wick Harbour area.
