Castletown, Caithness

Castletown is a village on the north coast of Caithness, within the parish of Olrig, of which it is the main settlement.

The town stands athwart the A836, the road across the northernmost coast of mainland Great Britain, between John o' Groats in the east and Thurso and Tongue in the west. Much of the village is built on the old townland of Stanergill; the Stanergill Burn flows through the eastern end of the village into Dunnet Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (Read more)
