North Baths Team Ready To
Restore North Baths 16 November

Iain Sutherland and his team have already cleared the road of many
tons of stones thrown up by the sea in successive storms and are ready to
start the huge task of restoring the North Baths - another open air
pool at Wick. Once used by many locals as their swimming pool it was
once as busy as the Trinkie on the other side of the Bay. Iain
Sutherland and his team have set about the task of raising money and
gathering people together to undertake this work. He has also
gathered a group of local contractors who are donating materials and
machinery for the job. Soon once again Wick will be the only
town in the north to have two outdoor swimming pools once again.
One end will have the paddling pool with shallow water for small children
whilst the other end will have depth for swimming.
