Access For People With Disabilities in Caithness
Caithness.Org has commenced a section on Access For People With Disabilities.  The main aim will be over time to produce an Access Guide To Caithness.  This will be built gradually as we collate information on buildings, places to stay, restaurants and other facilities.  You can all play a part by sending us information on facilities in Caithness to let everyone else know what is available.  We will add links to national information web sites with useful information.  Unlike traditional paper based guides we can start letting people know what we know right away without waiting to gather every bit of detail. With everyone's help It will not take long so lets go.

Berriedale Pictures -  Camera Pointing Everyway
Fifteen new pictures of Berriedale in this section and we have tidied up the main section.  And no you would never run out of things to look at in Berriedale.  See next item.

Wellbeck Estates
If you thought the first set of Berriedale showed some nice views then I am afraid as you go inland it just gets better and better.  This is a popular route for walkers who should call at the keepers house as there is no one for many miles as you go inland should you get lost.  This forms part of the estate and there is a route up to the top of Morven currently covered in snow as in the pictures in the last set.

Have a Vintage Holiday in Caithness
Can't promise a vintage Rolls Royce like these at the Portland Arms Hotel but everyone who Comes to Caithness is glad they did.  Apart from the empty roads to drive on (population in the north of Scotland is the lowest in Britain) you will get a warm and genuine welcome from everyone.  See the coast, harbours, history, museums, churches, castles, meet the people, enjoy food, relax and breathe the fresh air. And yes its windy.

This Is An Office In Caithness
Some people have all the luck and work in picturesque offices like this.  This is the Wellbeck Estates Office in Berriedale.  Later today the camera will point the other way for even more views.  I know I know but we have to sleep sometimes.
