This book chronicles the Queen Mother, her family, friends and the people of Caithness from 1952 to 1965, through the eyes of John Adams, photographer, and edited news reports from the old files of the John O'Groats Journal.
We follow the events leading up to the Queen Mother's purchase of the Castle of Mey, and the first of many public and private engagements, arrivals and departures.
We witness Her Majesty The Queen's first ever visit to Caithness, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Princess Margaret and other members of the Royal Family, and accompany the Queen and Prince Philip on their first official tour of Wick and Thurso.
Published in celebration of her 90th birthday, The Queen Mother and Family at Home in Caithness takes you on a journey down memory lane and captures the spirit of over a decade of unforgettable moments in the history of Caithness as they unfold.
