Hi Cousin
        Castles Girnigoe-Sinclair are owned by the Earl of Caithness.  He
has leased thepremises to the Wick Society and they have begun some repair
and restoration, midst much cooperation from the locals.  There now is a
nice road through a farmers pasture, Given by the owner, well built so heavy
equipment can use it.  It however has the appearance of a grvel path.  It
was well done supervised be Iain Sutherland of the Wick Society.  They have
great plans, and it is pleasant tosee the air of cooperation.
                                                    Yours aye,  David
