Caithness Poetry

[Jardine]

Can anyone help me with more information about fragments of Caithness poetry I remember from my childhood ?

I think the Author was 'Rector Grant'. The two poems of his I remember are (something like) 'The Ghostie on the Hill of Forse' and 'The Caithness Hoosie'.

I have an old typed text of the former poem but it is not attributed.

Does this ring any bells with any one ?

See if you can find a copy of "Tatties an' Herrins" the poem of "The Ghost of The Hill of Forss" is included in that anthology together with "Div ye mind" and many others.Good luck.

Ahhh, 'Div Ye Mind'. That's brought back memories as I recited that when I was wee in the Caithness Festival and got through to the final.

Have to say though ah dinna mind eh words now!
