Talent showcase to take place on world’s shortest street in Wick
A talent showcase is to be held on the world’s shortest street – Ebenezer Place, part of Mackays Hotel in Wick.
It will be the first event of its kind staged by the award-winning establishment, owned by Murray and Ellie Lamont.
Pipers, violinists, Highland dancers and majorettes will be among those taking part in Talent on the Shortest Street between noon and 2pm on Sunday, August 20.
Visitors will also get a chance to meet creatures from Lybster-based North Coast 500 Animal Farm Time.
Mr Lamont said: “Mackays Hotel is an integral part of local community life here in Caithness and is located on the world’s shortest street, so we’re super-excited to be hosting our first local community talent showcase event on August 20.
“We’re expecting hundreds of people from Wick and across the region to gather on Ebenezer Place, showcase their talents and show everyone what Caithness has to offer.
“We will be serving lunches on the day and have entertainment covered for the afternoon, so all we need now is for the weather to be on our side.
"We also hope that our inaugural Talent on the Shortest Street event will be the first of many to come.”
No 1 Bistro occupies one end of the hotel on Ebenezer Place, officially the world’s shortest street at six feet and nine inches wide.
