What is recorded here
Castle Hill is a post-medieval cruck framed cottage in Highland, Scotland, where timber bones still hold the shape of a room that has watched the valley for centuries. It stands beside a much older castle memory, a hill that has been built, broken and rebuilt since David I and Malcolm Canmore are named in its story. The cottage is small enough to touch, yet it sits inside a long chain of human ambition, war and forgetting.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill as Cruck Framed Cottage (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
