What is recorded here
Castle Swin stands in Renfrewshire as an unclassified dun, its age and purpose hidden beneath grass and time. The exact position is known, yet the chamber remains closed to casual curiosity. That gap between knowing where it is and understanding what it did is the true shape of the ruin.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Swin as Dun (period Unknown). 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.
