Old travel Blog photograph of Mary Ann's cottage at Dunnet, Caithness. Scotland. Mary's grandfather John Young, built the cottage in this area of the Highlands in 1850, and the croft was successively worked by him, his son William, and finally by his grand-daughter, Mary-Ann and her husband James Calder. Over the three generations the way of life and working practices had continued largely unaltered. Mary-Ann died peacefully on the eve of her 99th birthday in September 1996 in a nursing home in Wick. Dunnet village centres on the A836 and B855 road junction. The A836 leads towards John o' Groats in the east and toward Thurso and Tongue in the west. The B855 leads toward Brough and Dunnet Head point in the north.
