You should inspect your roof at least once a year, to check there are no leaks or infestations. It’s best to do this just after it has rained, so leaks are as obvious as possible. You may find over a period of time there is a build up of moss on the roof, this should be cleaned so rain water has a clear path to the guttering.
Dunbeath
Dunbeath is a village in south-east Caithness, Scotland on the A9 road. It was the birthplace of Neil M. Gunn (1891-1973), author of The Silver Darlings, Highland River etc., most of whose stories are set in Dunbeath as well as its Strath. Dunbeath has a really abundant archaeological landscape, the site of countless Iron Age brochs as well as an early middle ages monastic site (see Alex Morrison's historical survey, "Dunbeath: A Cultural Landscape".) Of Dunbeath's landscape, Gunn composed: "These small straths, like the Strath of Dunbeath, have this intimate elegance. In boyhood we get to know every square lawn of it. We incorporate it literally as well as our memories hold it. Birches, hazel trees for nutting, swimming pools with trout as well as a sometimes visible salmon, river-flats with the wind on the bracken and also disappearing bunny scuts, a riches of wild flower and also small bird life, the rising hawk, the unexpected roe, the ancient graveyard, thoughts of the people who as soon as lived much inland in straths and also hollows, the past and the here and now held in a moment of day-dream." ('My Little Britain', 1941.). There is a neighborhood museum/landscape interpretation centre at the old village institution.
