What is recorded here

Duns Castle is a 19th-century sheepfold in the Scottish Borders. It stands beside two man-made lakes and a publicly accessible park. The estate still hosts weddings and corporate functions, while the old walls watch over the quiet water.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duns Castle as Sheepfold (19th Century). 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.

Duns Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Vesci family, later held by the Hume family, and is remembered as a significant stronghold in the Scottish Borders. It is important for its historical role in border defense and its well-preserved medieval architecture.
