What is recorded here
Deskie Castle in Moray, Scotland, is a possible medieval stronghold. It is an irregular knoll with slight traces of robbed walling on its north and west sides, plus footings of another wall crossing the summit. Three separate short earthen banks stand on the west and northwest, but there is no evidence they formed a continuous outer defence. The place may have been a small residence, a watch point, or a family marker rather than a grand castle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Deskie Castle as Castle (medieval), Earthwork (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.
Deskie Castle is a medieval earthwork castle located in Scotland, likely built during the 13th or 14th century. It is remembered as an example of early defensive architecture in the region, reflecting the strategic importance of such sites during the medieval period.
