Biography
Duncan (Duncan) of Caithness is a member of Duncan Clan.
Caithness, with Sutherland, was one of the original seven provinces of Scotland in the 9th century, but does not appear to have been counted as one of the seven Mormaerships of the kingdom. This is presumably because it fell under the influence of the Norsemen who had colonised Orkney.

Dungad (Duncan), Mormaer of Caithness. married Groa, daughter of Thorstein "the Red" & his wife . Dungad and Groa had one child: Grelad.
Snorre names "Grelad, a daughter of Earl Dungad of Caithness…[and of] Groa, a daughter of Thorstein Raud" as mother of the five sons of Thorfin "Hausakljufer" m (941) THORFINN "Hausakliffer/Skullcleaver" Jarl of Orkney, son of EINAR "Turf-Einar" Jarl of Orkney & his wife --- (-soon after 977).
