What is recorded here

Warden wrote in the 1880s that water and a morass surrounded the castle on an apparently artificial mound, though the OS later called the mound a natural knoll. The small tower still stands with 2.4m rubble walls, a west entrance and breaks that may have been shot-holes. A sandstone spindle-whorl alleged to come from the castle is in Dundee Museum, hinting that someone spun thread inside this cramped, damp-strong place.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hynd Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.

Hynd Castle is a medieval tower house located in Scotland, likely built during the late 15th or early 16th century by a local landholding family, though specific builders or occupants are not well documented. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and residential architecture typical of the Scottish Borders during the medieval period.
