" From the lone shieling of the misty island, mountains divide us, and the waste of seas; yet still the blood is strong, the heart is highland and we, in dreams behold the hebrides" |

In the course of my research into my clan Sutherland genealogy I have collected a considerable amount of information about the history of the county of Sutherland in the far north of Scotland. My ancestors lived and worked in small communities and try as I may, I was unsuccessful in finding any information on the web about these places. Hopefully now, the following web pages may be helpful to others whose ancestors came from this beautiful and sometimes tragic area. |

Overlooking Loch Fleet are the ruins of this thirteenth century castle. Some of the most dramatic stories in the history of Sutherland surround this ancient site. |

The earliest history of Proncy castle is obscure but it seems it was originally a motte of the early norman period. |

Although my Sutherland family did not venture to New Zealand with these pioneers, I am sure that the passengers lists and other information found here will be very helpful to descendants of these hardy highlanders. |

My Sutherland family tree. Take a look and check for any shared names. I would love to hear from any relatives no matter how far removed. We are scattered all over the world, the countries which I know have descendants from this branch of the Sutherlands are : Scotland, Canada, United States, Australia and New Zealand. |
