What is recorded here
Horse Castle is shown as a headland on the public map of Scottish Borders. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Horse Castle is a sea cliff or coastal rock feature composed primarily of Silurian greywacke, formed around 430 million years ago through sedimentation and subsequent lithification in a deep marine environment. It is notable for its resistant rock type, which has withstood coastal erosion to form a prominent headland along the Scottish Borders coast.
