What is recorded here

Gylen Castle stands on Kerrera as a post Medieval farmstead, not a grand castle at all. The name may preserve memory while the stones served people who farmed, kept fire, and endured weather. That gap between grandeur and daily life is what makes the place worth remembering.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kerrera, Gylen Castle as Farmstead (post Medieval). 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.
