What is recorded here
Castletown Mill stands in Highland, Scotland, marked only as a proposed slaughterhouse site. The mill stones may have ground grain before knives took over, but no date or owner is known. A place for ending life often begins as a place for making food, and that shift is not unusual. The absence of facts does not diminish the function; it preserves the shape of the local tragedy.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castletown Mill, Proposed Site of Slaughterhouse as Abattoir (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
