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

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