About Slickly

Slickly occupies a corner of Caithness where small communities cluster together across the moorland. The A99 coastal route connects it to neighbouring towns like Alterwall and Brabstermire, all within a few kilometres of each other, whilst the A9 from Inverness brings longer-distance visitors through 160km of Highland scenery. With approximately 11 fast charging points nearby and Wick John O'Groats Airport accessible, it's well-positioned for exploring Scotland's northeastern tip. The town's name comes from Old Norse "slikr," meaning smooth, a reminder of its Viking heritage.
