What is recorded here
Castledykes is a cropmark in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, preserved in the national historic environment record without a defined period. The name and location suggest an ordinary rural landscape, yet the provided story places Robert the Bruce and James Douglas there during the struggle for Scottish sovereignty. That discrepancy does not diminish the wonder of the claim; it sharpens it, inviting imagination to bridge fact and tradition.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledykes as Cropmark (period Unknown). 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.
