Hi, Joe. I'm the one researching Dunnet, don't know if Keith is too. The Dunnet I'm seeking information on is Mary Dunnet (b. abt. 1686) wife of George Baikie (b. abt. 1682). No record of the place, but their children lived in Canisbay, Caithness. (Two of their children married Dunnets.) Only their son Magnus Baikie moved to Longhope, Orkney, which is where most of my research is centered. Linda * * * * * Joseph C.
