Re: New laws
#12, Marion, I'm shocked, at your opinion on my birthplace Caithness, here is a little bit of Caithness verse.
Till mak' 'e world in six short days.
'E good Loard did contrive;
He spent wan day on Kaitness
An' did 'e rest in five.

#14, Marion, if I told you Caithness, has two award winning Malt distilleries, Wolfburn in Thurso, and Old Poultney in Wick, and also the furthest north gin distillery Rock Rose, and a few micro breweries, but sadly we are still being over run by those damn white settlers 😂😂

Re: New laws
caith 001.jpgBill. So you are one of the chosen. My wife's mother came from Caithness and always referred to it as home where they lived was the house never the home. I heard many stories of Caithness over the years and have visited the area a few times. We have various books on Caithness as I suppose you have also. I will try to attach some.
