Alexander Sutherland of Dunbeath

Caithness is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area of Scotland.

There are two towns, being Wick, which was the county town, and Thurso

Dunbeath Castle is located on the east coast of Caithness, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of Dunbeath, in northern Scotland.

A castle is first recorded on the rocky peninsula at Dunbeath in 1428,[4] when the lands belonged to the Earl of Caithness. The first recorded laird was Alexander Sutherland.[4] It later became the property of the Clan Sinclair through the marriage of the daughter of Alexander Sutherland to William Sinclair (1410–1484), the first Sinclair Earl of Caithness.
