Mackays Hotel in Wick, located on the shortest street in the world, is celebrating a new era of connectivity following the installation of our full-fibre broadband.

Guests staying at the historic hotel situated on Ebenezer Place, renowned for being the shortest street in the world at just 2.06 meters long, are now able to enjoy Scotland’s fastest broadband thanks to the hotel’s digital upgrade.

Murray Lamont, owner of the 141-year-old hotel, has described the difference as “night and day” since switching to our full-fibre network:

Being a rural hotel in the far north of Scotland, we have historically faced challenges with reliable connectivity. Since switching to Highland Broadband’s full-fibre network, the difference has been night and day. We see guests using multiple devices simultaneously without any lag, whether they are in our bistro or the privacy of their rooms.

Speaking of the importance of a reliable connection, he added:

It’s no longer a luxury but an expectation, and being able to provide Scotland’s fastest broadband is a significant draw for our visitors.

As the only full-fibre provider building exclusively in Scotland, we’re proud to have connected more than 50 per cent of rural Highland communities.
