Myrton Castle

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Myrton Castle as Castle (medieval), Motte (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.

Myrton Castle was a medieval fortress, likely built in the 13th or 14th century, and is remembered as part of the defensive landscape of southern Scotland during the period of conflict between England and Scotland. It is important as a motte-and-bailey or stone castle example associated with local power holders, though specific builders or occupants remain unrecorded.
