What is recorded here
Melville Castle, Sawmill stands in Midlothian, Scotland, recorded only as a sawmill with no period assigned. The name suggests castle ruins repurposed for cutting timber, yet no date or owner appears in the public record. Maybe workers stripped ancient walls for joists, or maybe a mill simply took the castle's name. The absence of a date does not diminish the place; it withholds one fact and preserves the shape of what remains.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Melville Castle, Sawmill as Saw Mill (period Unassigned). 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.
