Landscapes and colours of Caithness and Sutherland

[Bluewillow55]

Lovely pictures and music. Who is the music by? I would love to visit this area. My grandmother was born in Strathy East, Sutherlandshire (in the census it says her father was a "crofter"), and my grandfather was born in Lybster, Caithness (his father was a fisherman). They emigrated to Canada in 1911 and never went back.

Although Terry Wogan has never been to Caithness,did his accountants not buy up chunks of land here to avoid paying tax?

Another absentee landlord.

You've made a Caithness boy who hasn't visited the home country for too long very homesick! Thanks for taking the time and effort to post this!

I love this video Scotland is stunning,I love Runrig

[BillDFC]

Runrig and the mother tongue....brilliant.

[ScotsmanRS]

Though, funnily enough, Gaelic didn't get this far, so in Caithness it's not so much a "mother tongue" as it is "the way they talk in the west"!

[BillDFC]

I know that.

I still enjoy Runrig singing in Gaelic though!

[ScotsmanRS]

Yeah it's a cool language, in a way I think it's a shame it didn't make it here!

[UISTMAN59]

It did make it here - My brothers and sister are here with me. A few other Gaels are around as well :-) Probably will not make it to the next generation though :-(

[ScotsmanRS]

Ah - well it's a shame it's not stuck around as much as it could've. Either way, I like learning languages, so I'm definitely going to take up Gaelic some time!
