Caithness Maps

Memories of North and West Sutherland. A very enjoyable book about North-west Sutherland in days gone by - the photographs (mainly taken from archive postcards) are super and the accompanying text is a well-written blend of history and anecdotes. A book which current and former Sutherland folk will relish but also great for visitors to the area, or, in fact, anyone interested in finding out a bit more about this often overlooked but supremely beautiful and history rich part of the northern Highlands.

Caithness: An Illustrated Architectural... Guide.This guide traces the architectural history and development of Caithness. It illustrates the architecture in Caithness through examination of the wide range of buildings associated with the coast and the country, castle and church, and also the principal contrasting towns of Wick and Thurso. The book also highlights the previous prevalence of the fishing industry along the coast, outlining many structures now either under-used or devoted to new roles. Covering buildings old, new and occasionally demolished and including many historical anecdotes about the personalities connected with the area, this guide should be of general interest to tourists and locals, as well as those with a specific interest in architecture.

Green: A Caithness Childhood. This autobiographical account of childhood in the '50s and '60s centres around Latheronwheel, a small village in Caithness. Brimful of anecdote, it is neither slushily sentimental nor dreamily nostalgic, but an evocation of country life and a child's relationship both with adults and nature. Green also covers subjects like education, religion, animals, snow, sea, sunshine, family, monsters, bitter cold, biting sea breezes, indecision and black despair. It is a child's view of the world - a child who despises adult advice, a child who is sensitive to nature, a child who is still green.
