I see these in the Charity shops occasionally and always assumed they were Caithness, but I could be wrong.

Your probably right, It does not seem to be of any real quality, it's just nice to know what it is.

Thanks for the reply

Agreed. Oban range, Caithness.

There's always a touch of quality about Caithness. Their big problem is the quantity they churned out.
