Looking For Information On An Old Caithness Motorcycle
 Stuart
Tod has been contacted by someone looking for any information that someone
might have on this motorcycle a "New Imperial" once registered in
Caithness SK1606. The bike was bought 25 - 30 years ago and has been
transformed to perfect condition. A tax disc dating to 1953 is also
include in the gallery. If anyone can shed some light on its history
contact Stuart Tod by email
[email protected] We would also be interested to add the
information to the photos - also send to
[email protected]
More Details
What the current owner would like is if there are any old period photo's
showing this machine that could be borrowed and copied.

 Sheila
Moir said "The dancing went on 3 Days and through the night. I think
Alistair Manson, Gills lasted longest . Walter Ross and Tommy Mackay was
another, These were the 3 men dancing in the photos. A whole lot started
but didn't last to end. Marie Mackenzie lasted a while too I cant
remember how long. Elizabeth Green is dancing in 2 of photos along

Early Caithness Cricket Photos
These two early Caithness cricket photos were
sent in by Murdo F Tait who used to be known as Murray Tait in his younger
days in Wick. Many of the faces are familiar to Murdo but it is hard
to remember that far back. If anyone else has information about
these two photos we will add it to the photos. Murdo says he is
regular visitor to Caithness.org and says perhaps folk in their eighties
might remember him. Lets us know if you do and we will add to this
section. Thanks to Murdo Tait for sending in these excellent photos.

The Big Snow In Caithness 1955
1st CVA - Do You Know More about This
Photo?
Taken at Dunrobin, Golspie in about 1890 of volunteers. The picture is
said to be of Caithness volunteers and the small caption on the pint says
'8TH. 1ST, C V A GOLSPIE'. This may refer to a camp held there - this was
quite common - or may have been a group raised in the area.
In George Watson's article he describes those Caithness Artillery
Volunteers though does not list this particular group.
