Is Wick Growing or Dying?
I ran across this article on the org, dated December 2005:-

"Describing Wick In A Few Years Time:-
One of the busiest bustling towns in the north of Scotland sitting on a large busy harbour incorporating a complex of marina and leisure facilities. Over the years wick has become a magnet for shopping from all over the north and attracts a growing number of people to work in the increasing number of firms moving to Caithness to take advantage of living in the far north of the Highlands. Wick with its unique transport connections of rail, sea and air put in a strong position to attract firms that need to be able to get in and out quickly and the fact that Broadband has been in place for sometime means that communications are excellent for any hi-tech firm who wish to take advantage of a workforce keen to live and work in the area."

Just wondered what others thought regarding the above statement and the current situation in the town almost five years on? Perhaps I am missing all the "bustling" going on?
