What is recorded here

Guthrie Castle, Old Garden Gate stands in Angus, Scotland, a gateway whose age remains unknown. Its exact position is mapped to the nearest metre, yet no record confirms whether the public may still walk through it. The gate may have marked a garden boundary, a castle approach, or a private division now forgotten. Whatever it controlled, it still divides the land, waiting for someone to remember which side belongs to the living and which to the dead.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Guthrie Castle, Old Garden Gate as Gateway (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.
