What is recorded here
Ferneycastle stands as an unassigned farmstead in the Scottish Borders, its exact position marked to the nearest metre yet stripped of chronological identity. The land may have fed horses, hidden lovers or simply sustained ordinary lives under changing skies. Its absence from historical classification does not diminish it; it resists being reduced to a date or a decree.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ferneycastle, Farmsteading as Farmstead (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.
