have you looked into the Caithness community website?
http://www.caithness.org/ family history

 or  the official documents at Scotlands People, a pay to view site, well worth a visit as the Scots kept much better records that England!

My Shearer tree connect to Donald and Isobel and I found much of that info in Roots.com family trees.
