What is recorded here
Castle Point, Portsoy stands as an unassigned enclosure on the Aberdeenshire coast, its exact age and purpose withheld from history. The location is precise to the nearest ten metres, yet human intention remains blurred. Perhaps it marked a boundary, a watch post, or a private claim along the water. The point still exists while its meaning retreats, inviting speculation rather than certainty.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Point, Portsoy as Enclosure (period Unassigned). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
