What is recorded here

Castle Brocket may have been a medieval castle in South Lanarkshire, but no surviving structure or clear history confirms that claim. The name suggests a small defensive house or lordly seat hidden among brocket land, yet no chamber, courtyard or boundary has been identified. It remains a ghost in the official record, named and mapped but never witnessed.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Brocket as Castle (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by the Brocket family in the 13th century, Castle Brocket is remembered as a historic medieval stronghold in the Scottish Borders, reflecting the region's turbulent history of border conflicts.
