Georgemas
Georgemas is an area in the county of Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland, about 8 kilometres (5 miles) south of the town of Thurso and about two kilometres (one mile) east of the village of Halkirk. Georgemas has no real town or village centre of its own but it does have an unstaffed railway station called Georgemas Junction. The station is on the Far North Line.
The area is served also by the A9, A882 and B874 roads. The A9 has a junction with the A882 in the area and forms a crossroads with the B874.
The name Georgemas is that of a now historic St George's Day agricultural fair which was held in the area, on Sordale Hill. Georgemas Junction, the station name, dates from 1874.
