Flower Delivery to Halkirk with Clare Florist

The village of Halkirk can be found in Caithness County of Scotland. This area is known as the Highland Council region of Scotland because it is in the Scottish Highlands. Highway B874 is the main road from Halkirk that runs into the northern town of Thurso and the eastern area known as Georgemas. Local people often describe Halkirk as the very first planned village of Scotland. It is also the birthplace of former Canadian politician, Alexander Keith, who eventually moved to Nova Scotia and became successful in politics and as a brewer. Now days, people in Canada know Alexander Keith as the founder of the beer “India Pale Ale.”

Halkirk had originally been known for its whisky distilleries. The Gerston Distillery existed from about 1796 all the way up to 1885. Then in 1886, the Ben Morven Distillery took over until 1911. Both of these distilleries had been established along the River Thurso. The Ben Morven Distillery closed in 1911, but the original stillhouse still exists. Halkirk is known for having once been the home of the Diocese of Caithness, which is a cathedral. However, this cathedral was moved to the seaside resort town of Dornoch around the 13th century. Unfortunately, there is no existing evidence or remains of the old church that can be found anywhere within the village. What you can find in the village is the old Fairview House. This used to be a poorhouse during the 19th century, but it was later converted into a residential complex which it still is today. The total population of Halkirk is just under 1000 people, but many of them live in residential complexes like this one.
