Wick Railway Station
(Institute Civil Engineers Historic Engineering Works no. HEW 0600)
Murdoch Paterson, a partner of Joseph Mitchell and Company, Inverness, was the engineer who supervised the construction of the Caithness section of the Sutherland and Caithness Railway. All that remains of his 1874 Wick Station is the terminal building whose interior was refurbished in 1999. The original cast-iron name and date plaque can be seen below the trifoil under the small gable.
This station was also the terminus for a light railway which ran from Wick to Lybster from 1903–44.
