What is recorded here
Kelspoke Castle on Bute is where an unassigned bracelet first appeared, though no human hand is certain. The castle name suggests a tower, guard room or boundary marker, but the bracelet is the only object still identified. That small difference matters: a ring of metal or glass may have belonged to a child, a servant or a visitor who never entered a formal record. The castle may have been a kitchen, a gate or a forgotten household, yet the bracelet still turns the place into a life lived rather than a blank point on a map.

The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
