What is recorded here

Gamelshiel Castle is a ruined fortified structure in East Lothian, Scotland, built during the medieval period and shaped by the border conflicts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Its stone remains mark a modest defensive settlement that likely served both military and administrative purposes amid repeated Scottish-English tension. The site is a scheduled monument, protected as SM5606, and still stands as a quiet witness to the violence and administration that once animated the Borders.
Gamelshiel Castle is shown as a ruins on the public map of East Lothian. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
