Yesterday I had my first strawberries of this year from Halkirk, what a treat they were.
I've been buying supermarket strawbs since the UK ones came in and they have been okay but I have to say the Halkirk ones are the Rolls Royce of Strawberries; such quality, and they are grown here in Caithness!!

Last season Mackay butcher and Bews butchers, both in Thurso. They were delicious!!

Wick have the market, Thurso uses the butchers shops as speciality outlets.

How come Thurso doesn't have a market?
Was there one in the past ?
