Castletown Heritage Centre
Castlehill Heritage Centre is run by Castletown Heritage Society.
Castletown Heritage Society is a community group established in 1986 'To preserve the character, history and traditions of the Village of Castletown and Parish of Olrig.'
Over the years Castletown Heritage has amassed a significant collection of local artefacts reflecting the archaeological, social, commercial and industrial heritage of our parish, ranging from single pieces to lifetime collections by local people - from fossils to photographs, matchboxes to mangles. A key aim of the Society is the conservation of all such relevant material through careful cataloguing and appropriate storage.
open throughout the winter, every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm.
