Castlehill Heritage Centre

Highland – Caithness & Sutherland

Castlehill Heritage Centre is run by Castletown Heritage Society. It was set up to preserve the character, history and traditions of Castletown and the Parish of Olrig. Themed exhibitions are held throughout the year featuring the history, heritage, biodiversity and social history of Castletown and the parish of Olrig.

The centre is located within renovated farm buildings immediately adjacent to the cutting yard and quarry of the now defunct flagstone workings. Visitors can walk round the Flagstone Heritage Trail which outlines the stages of the production of the stone, while an adjoining Sculpture Trail within the community woodland, demonstrates some artistic uses of the material.
