Halkirk was still referred to as Hakrig by the natives when I was there. Was that known as the "Model" parish? Watten folk called theirs the "Modest" parish! wullie.

I've just finished proof reading a very interesting paper about the history and place of Gaelic and Norse in Caithness, with suggestions as to the source of the (minority) hostility against the former. Once it gets published, I'll point you at it if you're interested.
