What is recorded here
Castle Port marks a possible landing point on the South Ayrshire coast, where the sea still touches the land and memory follows the tide. The exact date and purpose remain unrecorded, but the name suggests a place where people arrived, departed or watched the water carry them elsewhere.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Port as Landing Point (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
