What is recorded here
Boturich Castle, Loch Lomond, appears in national records as an unclassified event rather than a building, stripping it of the usual stone-and-mortar identity. That vacancy fits the water, where memory dissolves and reappears instead of standing firm. The castle may have been a boat, a vow, a drowning or a joke told until it became true. Loch Lomond keeps what it wants and removes the rest.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Boturich Castle, Loch Lomond as No Class (event) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built by the Clan MacFarlane in the 16th century, Boturich Castle is remembered for its strategic location on the shores of Loch Lomond and its historical association with the Scottish clan system.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
