For anyone with an interest in local history I found some 19th century maps of Thurso and Wick online

The map repository is at

http://maps.nls.uk/towns/

Thurso 1:25 OS from 1872 is at

and Wick at

http://maps.nls.uk/view/75114050

There are also large detail maps of Wick plus Admiralty charts for both bays

Enjoy :)

Those are good links - thanks. For modern maps, you will struggle to find Caithness or other <ul>real</ul> counties mapped, but to see the county in its full glory on a modern map, look at: http://wikishire.co.uk/map/#Caithness/centre=58.418,-3.441/zoom=10
