I am sorry to have to tell you that in the English section there is no sample of the Caithness accent. Perhaps someone who is more fluent that am I in Caithness speech will leave a copy on the site. Full instructions for making a recording are avaialable. Here's what you have to say:
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
