WattenWatten, is a small village in Caithness, Scotland, on the main highway between the county town of Wick and the burgh of Thurso, about twelve kilometres (eight miles) west of Wick and close to the Wick River and to Loch Watten. The loch is the largest body of water in Caithness. The name of the village and loch appear to come from a Norse word meaning water, and the loch is famous for its brown trout fishing. Watten is famous also as the birth place of Alexander Bain, inventor of an electric clock and a fax machine.
