What is recorded here
Castledykes is a lamp fitting in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is not the Dumfries castle site described in some online stories. Any claim that Robert the Bruce raised a standard there belongs to a different place and must be rejected.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledykes as Lamp Fitting (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.
