Fingers flying, needles clicking, the fishermen’s best friends – their ganseys – took shape; warm, weatherproof pullovers with distinctive patterns that, should the worst happen, might well help bring them home. For generations, the traditional hand-knitted sweater was the herring fisherman’s uniform. Knitted in fine yet deceptively tough navy blue, grey, dark red or cream fine 5-ply wool to defend against the biting wind and the sting of the sea spray, their elaborate patterns were not mere decoration. The lines of twisted cables reflected the ropes that hauled their nets, moss stitch added thickness, rows of ladders, herring bones, stars, tree branches, even zig-zags to reflect the ups and downs of the waves or, perhaps, married life; the gansey’s patterns told their own stories.

A chance observation in an old newspaper has led to the discovery of two photos of Wick in the Royal Collection.
The photographs are held at Windsor because they were gifted to Queen Victoria by the Earl of Caithness in 1865.
What’s more, they are early examples of the work of Alexander Johnston, who with his brother James and the following two generations created a massive photographic record of Caithness in more than 100,000 images, known as the Johnston Photographic Collection.

Christmas isn’t cancelled in the far north as a Caithness arts venue unveils its festive programme.
Lyth Arts Centre’s (LAC) Covid-compliant programme includes a festive drive-in and streamed version of a Christmas theatre show.
The centre says this will provide much needed paid-for work for Highland artists after a difficult year for the creative industries, and support the Caithness community through the unusual winter.
