    There was one in print a few years ago. I'm not in the house just now, so don't have the details to hand. What used to be Bews in Thurso had a Caithness section in their bookshop, but it was looking pretty neglected when I was home in the summer. Stanley in the precinct really knows his stuff and may have one.

    There is a Book by local born James Miller called "The Caithness Word Book" and you can find one in the Tall Tales bookshop Thurso
    You might even find other one's which are no longer in print there
