What is recorded here
Castlehill Mansions in Campbeltown layer a medieval castle, an 18th-century church, and 20th-century flats into one address. The church stood from 1779 to 1881, but the older castle and younger flats suggest the hill has kept being rebuilt long after worship left it. Rooms above ancient foundations may still mark the place where belief, defence, and daily life kept turning over each other.
