What is recorded here

Belont Castle keeps a small south-east lodge built during the nineteenth century. The main castle takes most attention, but this separate building shows that the estate stretched wider than its central tower. A lodge like this may have judged visitors, stored tools or simply marked the boundary between private land and public road.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Belmont Castle, South-east Lodge as Lodge (19th Century). 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.
