What is recorded here
Castledykes and Loudoun Hill may have joined Peebles and Irvine under Roman boots, a straight line across living land. The road has vanished, but the names still point at the shape it forced into Ayrshire. Stones and soil forgot the builders, yet they remember the direction of travel.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Peebles - Castledykes - Loudoun Hill - Irvine (?) as Roman Road (roman). 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.
