What is recorded here
Castlehill Gates stand at Dalmellington Road in Ayr, South Ayrshire, marking a boundary rather than a whole estate. The gates may have controlled entry to castle grounds, town lands or private property, yet no date or owner survives in the saved name. Stein and tool marks may still show on their frames, preserving the last time someone fitted, forced or decorated them.
