What is recorded here
Castles Farm stands in Argyll and Bute as an unassigned building that may have begun as a medieval castle. Its exact age remains unknown, but the name suggests a time when strength and ownership were written in stone rather than paper. The field around it has likely fed people, hidden lovers, or swallowed boots in winter mud for generations. A castle reduced to a farm is not a loss; it is a transformation, its defensive purpose softened into domestic life while the ground keeps the older shape beneath the soil.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castles Farm as Building(s) (period Unassigned), Castle (medieval)(possible). 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.
