My cousin lives in Caithness,between Thurso and cape wrath,an absolutely desolate place,been there maybe 30 years,moved there with her husband who thought it a good idea.They were young when they went,had health problems since,her kids who were born up there all moved south of the border,I have been up there a few times in the winter and I class myself as fairly adaptable,my cousin told my sis she regrets the move,it’s an acquired taste and not for everyone.
