HIGHLAND COUNCIL WELCOMES MORE CRUISE
PASSENGERS AT SCRABSTER
 The
Highland Council's Caithness Area is encouraging more cruise
ship passengers docking at Scrabster harbour to visit Thurso for
shopping and entertainment in the town. This Caithness welcome
to cruise ship passengers follows on from the success of an
earlier visit this summer (3rd June) by the Black Prince cruise
ship chartered by the National Trust for Scotland which called
at Scrabster on the NTS annual cruise around Scotland. Two
more cruise ships are expected to dock at Scrabster: the "Funchual"
with Morrison Tours on Thursday 26th August and the "Minerva"
with Denholm Shipping on Monday 6th September. Many of the
ships passengers will be going on pre-arranged day or half day
excursions to see visitor attractions and sites of interest in
Caithness, however the remainder who do not wish to go on these
trips are being enticed to visit Thurso on a shuttle bus which
has been organised by The Highland Council.

5 May 03
Whitefish boats may be a thing of the past at Wick these days
but there is still activity in the form of cargo boats and
yesterday a tug ready to assist with the float out of the latest
pipeline from Wester. Shellfish boats still come and go
with catches being uplifted often at weekends before heading to
southern markets and on to European destinations.
