It's great to find some-one who would put their time and energy into to trying to give a purpose to the area.I was saddened when we visited Wick in February to see what could be a great community in decline.I have also been following the debate on these boards about the problems with that town.
I an a mere "Sawsenak" "Sassenach" to you north of the border but surely there must be people up there that love the area and do not denigrate it at every opurtunity.I have seen the problems from a similiar perspective in my native county Cornwall and the struggle that we have had to realise our worth and identity.We are now looking to have our native language officially recognised and our traditions respected.
Caithness has a natural beauty and a light that any person with their eyes open would die for.It may be remote but that is one of it's attractions I just hope that the indigenous population can open their eyes to what is before them and not desert it.
If I win the lottery I know where I would choose to invest the funds and it would not be where I now live.
There are true folks in Caithness who are proud of their heritage and their lineage long may it continue .
By the way don't let too many tourists in we would hate to be caught up in a traffic jam!And when and if you get "The Groats" hotel up and running provided your tarif is no too expensive we'll be booking in
