What is recorded here
Bow Castle, Broch stands in Scottish Borders, a reminder that human hands shaped the land before written memory. The name suggests a castle, yet a broch belongs to an older, darker age when people built tall stone towers against storm or enemy. Perhaps it guarded a valley, stored grain, or simply defied the sky. Whatever it did, it still does: it holds attention, resists forgetting, and forces imagination to work.
Bow Castle, Broch is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Scottish Borders. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
