Walks Caithness - Loch Mey Monster Walks - Ham to Scarfskerry Part two

[mostlymaharg]

As you so rightly comment it has a church and in Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church..Historically, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practise subsistence agriculture. Although I notice Wikipedia describes it as a settlement and a village..

[Phlegmwahn]

Scarfskerry can hardly be called a 'village'. The only public amenity is the Baptist church; there is no shop, no pub, no school. A scattered settlement OK but not a village.
