Talk:Pulteneytown

Pulteneytown and Wick
I beleive the name dates from 1806, William Pulteney having died in 1805, and that Pulteneytown (and the harbour) were administratively quite separate from the Royal Burgh of Wick until 1902. (Creation as an expansion of Wick is perhaps misleading.) Pulteneytown was administered by the British Fisheries Society until the latter went out of business, but I do not have a date for this event. Nor do I know how the town was administered between then and 1902. Laurel Bush 11:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC).
