Jim -

I'm guessing that you may mean "Strathnaver" - literally the valley of the
River Naver. The river flows from Loch Naver north to the Pentland Firth at
Internaver. But if this is the reference, it is not Caithness, but rather
Sutherland, although very close to the Sutherland/Caithness border to the
west of Thurso.

Try going to www.multimap.com and enter Strathnaver.
