I have a relative Elizabeth Cormack who married a Magnus Bain in the early 1800's. Don't know if they are connected.

Cheers Ian. Think I am going to have to do a lot more searching. I keep finding more and more names in my family tree from Caithness, it is getting to the stage I dont know where to start next.
