Caithnessshire

Caithnessshire, also known as Caithness, is a historic county in the northeast of Scotland. It is bordered by the North Sea to the east, the Moray Firth to the north, and the counties of Sutherland and Ross-shire to the west and south. The county is known for its rugged coastline, which includes the iconic Cape Wrath, the most northerly point of mainland Britain. The landscape is characterized by moorlands, hills, and coastal cliffs, with the county's highest point being Ben Hope, which stands at 815 meters.

The county's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism. The area is home to several historic sites, including the ancient stone circle of Clava Cairns and the ruins of the 12th-century castle of Dunrobin. Caithness is also known for its traditional music and dance, with the county's pipers and drummers being renowned for their skill and craftsmanship.

The county's population is relatively small, with the largest town being Wick, which serves as the administrative center. The county is part of the Highland Council area, which was created in 1996 as part of the local government reforms in Scotland. The council is responsible for providing a range of services to the residents of Caithness and the other Highland areas.
