What is recorded here

Thirty-eight to forty Castlegreen Road stood as a grocers shop in Thurso, though no date has ever been written beside it. The numbers suggest a narrow strip of counter and shelves rather than a grand hall, yet the absence of time makes the building refuse to settle. It may have measured out sugar and salt through decades of Highland rain, or it may have closed before memory formed. The address still exists without confession, holding its ordinary purpose back like a fist around a coin.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Thurso, 38-40 Castlegreen Road as Grocers Shop (period Unassigned). 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.
