I really do wish someone would provide some real, verifiable evidence that Caithness is the forgotten land. By evidence, I don't mean anecdotes or isolated individual circumstances but evidence of a clear and concerted policy of ignoring Caithness.

If it is not possible to provide any such evidence then it is just a case of "poor us" and "the grass is always greener...". As I have said before I have lived all over Scotland and have heard many communities make similar allegations without having the slightest foundation. Glasgow thinks Edinburgh gets all the money yet curiously Edinburgh thinks it happens the other way round. Rural communities feel aggrieved at the money spent in urban areas. Urban communities cannot understand why so much is spent in rural areas.

If such assertions are to be taken seriously then evidence must be produced.
