Old Brewery C.1798
The old brewery sits in Manson's Lane at the corner with Riverside Place.
The brewery was set up by Alex Manson. The original roof is thought to have been local slate and
has for many years had a corrugated iron roof that now stands out with the rust.
There have been many suggestions for uses to which this substantial building could be put to.
To date none of the suggestions or plans have got any further. The most recent suggestion was an arts centre
and earlier ideas for a glass centre or relocating the north highland Archive from Wick have failed to materialise.
