    I enjoyed that Video, very good indeed and I was surprised to see my old house in the video. It was looking good as well

    Loved that (from the other side of the world). Can someone tell me where the place is that comes in about the 1:38 mark?

    Hello George and thanks.
    The clip at 1:38 was filmed at the shore cottages in Berridale

    Thank you YummyMummy
    Did you really have people staying at your holiday apartments beacause of the programme? WOW thats great.

    Caithness is a beautiful place with lots of heritage and warm people but some people are only to ready to run it down and show the negative parts. If I can show the beauty of Caithness and get people coming to visit, it will be beneficial for county.

    As i said in the series,"You dont have to go to Norway to see the northern lights, just come to Wick" I should change it to...
    " You dont have to go abroad to see a beautiful world, just come to Caithness"     for a much needed advertisment campaign to get more tourists to come and visit and see for themselves.

    I think the tourist board should use some of your footage much better than some of the tired rubbish they are currently using.

    Hi nona70
    Thank you so much for your kind comment, Im glad to show the beauty of Caithness on national T.V.
    Ive just got an email from the BBC saying that they will be using more of my timelapses for another programme "A Great British Year" as part of the BBC learning zone
