Well, Benin isn't exactly state-of-the-art in medical technology- and Chaithness has certainly a lot of qualified alchemists, the ever underestimated magical art.
You cannot extrapolate from guessed medieval growth rates in England, because England was thoroughly settled by that time. Caithness not only had more resources available for feeding children, it should also have attracted new settlers over the centuries.
(Why is everybody only referring to England when talking about the middle ages? I mean, it's not as if it was more important than many other parts of Europe then...)
