What is recorded here
Ayton Castle and Huldies Cottage occupy the same precise point in the Scottish Borders, yet no date or room has emerged to separate them. The collision suggests a castle reduced to a cottage, or a cottage misnamed as a castle, leaving the true building hidden behind the wrong name.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ayton Castle, Huldies Cottage as Cottage (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
