There is no easy way! Old Pulteney is the most northerly distillery on the Scottish mainland. It stands in the suburbs of Wick, about 18 miles from John O’Groats, in a rugged, windswept, sea-pounded area with ancient ruined castles all around. Entering Wick on the A99 from the south, look for Northcote Street on your right, then go left into Macrae street, then immediately right into Rutherford Street. From the center of Wick, follow the south side of the harbor and turn up the hill at the end.
Parking / Reception - The best place to park is outside in the street as the courtyard is restricted. Enter from the street, pay in the shop and move through to the visitor center, along a passage reminiscent of a sailing ship's bridge, complete with wheel. Expect a quiet friendly welcome and look for the exquisite central wall hangings.
