Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Ancient Records of the Bishopric of Caithness: From the Charter-Room at Dunrobin
When the Bishopric of Caithness was founded, whether by Alexander I. Or by his brother King David, the Scotch monarch exercised but a partial and uncertain sway over the territory of the new northern diocese. The peninsula beyond the Moray Frith was for long afterwards in the hands of the Horsemen, who acknowledged their allegiance to the Kings of Scot land only when it suited them to resist the more distant authority of the crown of Norway, or when divisions among themselves rendered it impos sible to assert an absolute independence.
