    Default Caithness Poetry

    Can anyone help me with more information about fragments of Caithness poetry I remember from my childhood ?

    I think the Author was 'Rector Grant'. The two poems of his I remember are (something like) 'The Ghostie on the Hill of Forse' and 'The Caithness Hoosie'.

    I have an old typed text of the former poem but it is not attributed.

    Does this ring any bells with any one ?

    See if you can find a copy of "Tatties an' Herrins" the poem of "The Ghost of The Hill of Forss" is included in that anthology together with "Div ye mind" and many others.Good luck.
