Naming Dirty Weekers is similar to that old chestnut "How many famous Belgians can you name?"
Most notorious present day Dirty Weeker - Graeme Smith who has cost Caithnesians everything.
Surely local people deserve their opinions to be carried out by the so-called leaders of our community.[evil]

I was told that "Dirdy" meant hard working.

just meaning that caithness has been the land of the forgotten for a long time.....

[Tighsonas4]

I was told that "Dirdy" meant hard working.
have heard it said that this term was in no way meant to be derogatary
but was a reference to hard working classes of the times
especially in the times of the herring halcyon days
not many news reporters would know much about it [lol] tony
