Undiscovered Scotland ' - a cross-section of Caithness "chiels" who have left their indelible mark on the world. - There is a wealth and breadth of talent and absorbing information in this detailed and thoroughly-researched book. That it helps put Caithness and her gifted sons and daughters on the map, so much the better.' The Scots Magazine ' - interesting and varied reading. An extraordinary range of talented people stemmed from the area and the accounts cover both those who remained in Scotland and those who made their mark in other areas of the world. - This informative book provides an enjoyable study of a diverse array of subjects and is one for dipping into over and over again.'
