    Latheronwheel

    Location

    Latheronwheel is a small Scottish village, in Caithness. It is six kilometres southwest of Lybster on the A9 road to Helmsdale, near the junction with the A99 road to Wick, which lies in the equally small village of Latheron. The village is at the mouth of a wide valley, through which flows a small river called the Burn of Latheronwheel. It was built on the land of one Captain Dunbar. It was a planned settlement, begun in 1835 with the building of a hotel. In the beginning, tenants of the settlement were allocated 2 acres and the right to fish from the harbour. The harbour was constructed around 1840, with a small lighthouse built on the southern headland. At one time was the home of 50 boats although few now remain. Initially salmon was caught, but this gave way to herring. As the herring trade became more concentrated in larger ports in the years before the First World War, the catch and the number of vessels in use in Latheronwheel declined. Wikipedia
