Doing research on the Simpson's of Caithness and I have a James Simpson who died in Dunbeath, but I am not sure which parish Dunbeath is included in. I know some of you Caithnessians can help me oot! :D Thanks for the help.

Parish is Latheron. Have you any dates?
There was a James Simpson living at Houstry in the 1841 census for Latheron, he was 70 toQuote:

I've put a map of Caithness with the parishes marked on it on my website. It was published by Thomson in 1822.Quote:

Thanks for the map and all the info:
The date of James Simpson death is Aug 18, 1854 so most likely it is that James that was in Latheron in 1851.
If anyone has any connections to this Simpson let me know.
Thanks so much for your fast responses.
