Scope and Content Commercial Bank (now Royal Bank of Scotland), Bridge Street, Wick, Highland Wick, a royal burgh since 1589, remained a small town until after 1801 when Thomas Telford planned the harbour and new town on behalf of the British Fisheries Society. By the middle of the 19th century, Wick was Europe's largest herring port. The Commercial Bank was built in about 1835 in Classical style. The first-floor central window is framed by Ionic columns. Ionic is one of the mathematically defined architectural styles or Orders used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Rediscovered by architects during the Renaissance, these remained fashionable until the 20th century. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
