> Which direction do the castles face?
They're on an east-west stretch of coast, so the land side faces south
and the sea side faces north, into the North Sea. See

Look for Sinclair's Bay, just north of Wick.

Not much.
> Are there forests nearby
In Caithness? Nope.

Yes. Well, actually, the surrounding land is a sheep pasture,
to be precise.
