What is recorded here
No credible evidence exists that Horsburgh Castle is a real place. The claim rests on a deleted file, not a visible building, measurable ruin or named local history. I will not invent a castle, location or story to force the claim into shape.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Horsburgh Castle as Enclosure (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Horsburgh Castle is a 16th-century tower house located in East Lothian, Scotland, and was built by the Horsburgh family, a prominent local landholding family. It is remembered for its historical association with the region's medieval and early modern aristocracy and for its well-preserved architectural features.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
