What is recorded here

Graden Place is a fortified house in the Scottish Borders, built to withstand siege and surprise. Stone walls and narrow openings suggest residents expected danger rather than welcoming strangers. The house still belongs to memory, not map advice, and its rooms may have echoed with fear, pride or quiet domestic life.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Graden Place as Fortified House (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. 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.
