Stone Lud
The Stone Lud is a standing stone in the parish of Bower in Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland. It is located and about 7 kilometres south of Castletown. The stone has been claimed as the grave stone of Ljot Thorfinnsson, the 10th century earl of Orkney. At about 3 metres from ground level, however, it seems rather taller than anything the 10th century Norse are likely to have used.
Loch Watten
Loch Watten is a loch in Caithness, Scotland in the River Wick drainage basin. The name is a tautology, consisting of the word "loch" (of Gaelic origin) and vatn, a Norse word meaning the very same, found in such names as "Þingvallavatn" and Myvatn in Iceland, and "Røssvatnet" and "Møsvatn" in Norway. It is well known as a good fly fishing loch for brown trout with the local village Watten being located to the south
