What is recorded here

Brown Castle in East Renfrewshire is a field boundary and quarry, not a castle at all. The name may preserve a lost building, a boundary marker or a local joke about shape. Stone removed for walls or roads may have left a hole where pride or memory once stood.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brown Castle as Field Boundary(s) (period Unassigned), Quarry(s) (period Unassigned). 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.
