The Musical Map of Caithness produced by local musician Gordon Gunn and friends in 2015 has proved a huge hit with local sand visitors. Gordon said, We had a terrific response last summer and now we are restocked and gearing up for summer tourists so folk are are using it as their musical tour guide and from hotel responses some are staying the extra night due to the visitor attractions on the album and wanting to go and visit.
Due to the first run success a further batch of the CD has been produced. It is available to buy at all of the attractions on the album, hotels, local shops and from the website www.gordongunn.co.ukand you can download from iTunes.
