What is recorded here
No credible Fotheringhay Castle Mound appears in the supplied facts. The data only identify Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, and a medieval castle mound. That is all that can be spoken without inventing history.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Northamptonshire, Fotheringhay Castle Mound as Castle (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.
Fotheringhay Castle Mound was built in the 11th century, likely by the de Fotheringhay family, and later held by the Crown. It is historically significant as the site where Mary, Queen of Scots, was executed in 1587.
