The outage was reported at 11.25am and SSEN ‘aim to have power restored by 4.30pm’.
This incident comes after a power cut left more than 200 people in Wick without electricity on Wednesday morning.
One resident said he received a text from UK Power Networks that said engineers had switched off power in the BN17 7 area ‘in the interest of the public’s health and safety’. It said there had been reports that an overhead cable was on the ground.
