What is recorded here

Garleton Castle stands in East Lothian, Scotland, where a sixteenth-century fortress became an eighteenth-century house. It is the kind of place where pride and pragmatism collided, stones being cut for defence before taste and comfort took the wheel. Whether it still holds the shape of a guardroom or a drawing room is no longer important. What matters is that it survived the change, still belonging to the land that first demanded it be strong.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Garleton Castle as Castle (16th Century), House (18th 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.

Garleton Castle was built in the 16th century and later converted into a house in the 18th century. It is remembered as a historic structure reflecting the transition from medieval strongholds to later domestic architecture in Scotland.
