Has anyone ever come across anywhere else in the world with Caithness place names? Are we the only Wick/Thurso/Halkirk/Keiss etc in existance do you think?
maybe you could google maps it and find out.:D

I believe there are 7 places called Wick in the UK alone.
Some places which were mentioned in a similar thread will be of interest to you.....:)

There is a Thurso in Canada I believe....don`t know if there is a Wick stylee counterpart though?
Thurso, Quebec, Canada - the home of my all time favourite ice hockey hero.
Also, there is Wick, Ontario. I have a painting of its parish church hanging in my living room.
