What is recorded here
Old Castle in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, still wears the shape of a castle even though no complete wall stands to mark the rooms. The land may have held a hall, a courtyard or a boundary before people stopped building there, and the absence of a clear tower does not erase the purpose of the site. It is better to imagine a working castle than to invent a grand one, because the region gave birth to many practical strongholds. The missing structure is not a failure of memory; it is an invitation to see what the ground still remembers.
Old Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Argyll and Bute. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
