Dear Barb Thanks for your feedback. This is all the information I have at present - did you check my IGI page from the Caithness Origins page? West Canisbay House is some distance from Hempriggs, though - being on the North Coast between John O'Groats and Thurso, while Hempriggs is close to Wick on the East coast. The date is 1883. Glad to be of a help and a pleasure to share information with you. Yours aye Iain
