<p>Love them or hate them, rabbits are considered both a pest and a valuable resource. &nbsp;The sight of a dead rabbit at the side of the road causes Muriel to ponder the lot of the rabbit and our relationship with them.</p>

A series of short podcasts by Castletown Heritage Society exploring the social history and heritage of the village of Castletown within the Parish of Olrig in Caithness, the most northerly county in the mainland of Scotland, UK. 

Known as 'The Flagstone Village', Castletown is intimately associated with the historical extraction, finishing and export world-wide of Caithness Flagstone paving from Castlehill Harbour. Today it is a thriving community, and there is much to tell about the social, industrial, agricultural, maritime, military and archaeological heritage of our village and parish.
