What is recorded here
The Castles is an archaeological place in East Lothian, Scotland, where human hands shaped the land before written memory arrived. It may have been a fortress, a boundary marker, or a temporary camp, but stone and soil still hold the shape of that choice. People lived there under open skies, perhaps watching the sea or defending a narrow place, and they left behind a pattern sharp enough to find centuries later.
The Castles is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of East Lothian. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
