The Roundhouse is a category B listed building which overlooks Wick Harbour. It was built in 1807 for George Burn, a local contractor who constructed Wick Bridge, the inner harbour and houses in upper Pulteneytown. The design is by Thomas Telford and has a similar style to houses that Telford built along the Caledonian Canal at Banavie (Image) and Gairlochy (Image).
