Dunbeath
Dunbeath is a town in south-east Caithness, Scotland on the A9 road. It was the birthplace of Neil M. Gunn (1891-1973), writer of The Silver Darlings, Highland River and so on, a number of whose books are embeded in Dunbeath as well as its Strath. Dunbeath has an extremely abundant historical landscape, the site of various Iron Age brochs and also an early middle ages monastic site (see Alex Morrison's historical study, "Dunbeath: A Cultural Landscape".) Of Dunbeath's landscape, Gunn created: "These small straths, like the Strath of Dunbeath, have this intimate appeal. In boyhood we are familiar with every square backyard of it. We encompass it physically and our memories hold it. Birches, hazel trees for nutting, pools with trout and also a periodically noticeable salmon, river-flats with the wind on the bracken as well as disappearing rabbit scuts, a wide range of wild flower and also tiny bird life, the skyrocketing hawk, the unforeseen roe, the ancient graveyard, ideas of the people who as soon as lived much inland in straths and hollows, the past and also today held in a minute of day-dream." ('My Bit of Britain', 1941.). There is an area museum/landscape interpretation centre at the old town college.
