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.
