What is recorded here
Camregan Castle stands in South Ayrshire as a thirteenth-century ruin, its stones weathered into the landscape rather than preserved behind glass. It may have served as a watchful seat for local power, watching the coast or commanding the land below. The castle no longer needs a keeper because the wind and rain have taken that role, shaping its remains into something honest and unchanged.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Camregan Castle as Castle (13th 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.
Camregan Castle was built in the 13th century, likely by a local noble family in the Scottish Borders region. It is remembered as a historic example of medieval Scottish castle architecture and is listed in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment.
