What is recorded here
A steam trawler from the 20th century, recorded in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, its exact point unknown beyond a kilometre. Whether it still floats, sits broken on a beach, or vanished entirely, the name preserves a working life on the North Sea. The castle in its title suggests grandeur, but the truth is humbler: a fishing vessel, building or structure tied to the coast, now reduced to a point on a map and a line in a national record.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dilston Castle: North Sea as Steam Trawler (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. 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.
