Hessilhead

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hessilhead is in Beith, North Ayrshire, Scotland. Hessilhead used to be called Hazlehead.

Hessilhead Castle is a ruin, 2 miles east of Beith. Coldstream Mill was built to service the Hessilhead Estate. It was built before 1782, since there are records of it changing hands at that time.

Hessilhead has a wildlife rescue center run by Andy and Gay Christie for over 20 years. They rescue and rehabilitate injured and abandoned animals and birds. They treat over 3000 creatures a year. They recently built a swan treatment room. They have x-ray facilities and a surgery suite, as well as the part-time services of a veterinarian.
