Nice map. Only one remark. Caithness and Sutherland weren't Gaelic in 1000. There were still Pictish Kats' language spoken together with Norn of Norwegian rulers. Caithness = Kataness ("headland of Catt people") in Norn (Norse dialect) Sutherland = Gallaibh ("among strangers") in Gaelic In 1196 the tribute to Norwegian king was confirmed. Only starting with the Treaty of Perth in 1296 both counties were incorporated into Scotland, yet Norn (and probably Pictish) was still in use till 15. century.
