Ackergill is a settlement in the Wick, Caithness, in the Highland Council area of Scotland.
History
In Ackergill is a famous tower/castle named Ackergill Tower.
Economy
Despite being a small village, Ackergill used to have a lifeboat station, which served the increasing volume of shipping that began to pass through the area with the rise of the herring industry at nearby Wick from the mid-19th century; in poor weather, vessels often sought shelter in Sinclair's Bay. The lifeboat station is no longer used.[1]
