What is recorded here

Horsecastle Bay sits in the Scottish Borders, an unclassified view where the land still keeps its own shape. The name suggests a lost castle or a riding ground, though no date or owner has claimed it yet. Wind may have carved the bay, or people may have ridden it into memory. The place waits without apology, offering more life than record.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Horsecastle Bay as General View (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
