What is recorded here

Glenborrodale Castle, Gate Lodge and Gate Piers are a 19th-century Highland entrance, the kind of threshold where a road stops being a road and becomes someone else's domain. The lodge and piers still mark that boundary, simple and deliberate, while the castle behind them belongs to a larger life now lost to distance. Whatever arrogance or hospitality built them, they have survived by doing one thing: telling you the ordinary world has ended.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glenborrodale Castle, Gate Lodge and Gate Piers as Gate Lodge (19th Century), Gate Pier(s) (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.

Glenborrodale Castle was built in the 19th century by the Maclean family, who held the lands of Lochbuie in the parish of Kilfinichen, Argyll. The castle and its associated structures are remembered as a historic family seat and an example of 19th-century Scottish architecture in a remote and scenic part of the Highlands.
