What is recorded here
Castleton, Landing Place occupies the eastern edge of Lothian, a point where the land stops arguing with the sea and accepts whatever arrives. The exact period remains unassigned, but the function is clear: a landing place exists to receive, not to judge. That openness makes it dangerous and generous at once.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton, Landing Place as Landing Point (period Unassigned). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
