A Kirkular Tour Of Castletown
These photos are from a recent walk around churches past and present
around the Castletown area. Muriel Murray of Castletown Heritage led the
walk and imparted a lot of information about the various sites and
churches beginning at Olrig cemetery where St Trostans kirk of 1633 one of
the early churches stands. It is believed that the site was used in even
earlier times. An interesting look around the cemetery where many
interesting gravestones are to be found and behind one a fabled site of a
selkie burial. In Castletown walkers were allowed in to see the present
day Church of Scotland church on the main street. |
