- Whaligoe Haven is one of the most remarkable harbours to be found in Scotland - surrounded on three sides by 250 feet cliffs, and is reached by the Whaligoe Steps which zig-zag down the cliffside. The natural harbour at the foot of the steps has been a long standing landing point for herring, salmon, whitefish and shellfish.
First prospected by Thomas Telford in 1786 who decided it was a terrible place for a harbour, Captain David Brodie then went on to build the steps at a cost of £8., resulting in a harbour which supported 14 herring boats. Follow in the footsteps of the fisherwoman, who used to haul baskets of fish up the 365 man-made steps every day during the booming 1800s, before they were taken on foot to be sold in nearby Wick, some 7 to 8 miles away.

Very nice video. I have subbed. The waterfall is stunning. I take it There is no way to see it from the bottom?
Only 250 ft?? That's one heck of a walk but only 250 ft?
Very steep...just imagine carrying a large basket full of fish up stairs
£8 pounds, imagine today, it would be £8 Million at a minimum, and take at least 8 years. Most of which would be wasted on planning permission, etc.
