What is recorded here
Olrig Church rose in 1907 beside a matching manse and hall, anchoring the small Caithness village of Castletown. The buildings still stand along Main Street, preserving the shape of early twentieth-century worship and community life. They remain a recorded historic site, not an automatic invitation to wander inside.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castletown, Main Street, Olrig Church and Manse as Church (early 20th Century) (1907), Hall (20th Century), Manse (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
