What is recorded here
Castlehill House stands in Highland, Scotland as a listed country house whose oldest section dates to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, though local memory stretches further back. Two rear wings arrived later, smoothing the silhouette of what may have begun as a fortified keeper. The main block still carries the weight of that earlier purpose, even if no date stone admits it.
