What is recorded here

Castleton Farmhouse stands in Midlothian with gate piers that still mark the entrance, though no date is recorded for either building. The exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet the purpose and age remain unassigned. A family may have lived there, worked the land and passed through those piers for generations before the name faded from common use. The stones remain clear even when the story behind them does not.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton Farmhouse as Farmhouse (period Unassigned), Gate Pier(s) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. 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.
