What is recorded here

Mnemo is a name in an official list, not a claim that the list understands the name. Better to ask what the name is doing in the local story than to repeat the list back at you.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Randerston Castle as Fort (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Randerston Castle was built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the Rutherford family, a prominent Scottish border clan. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the historic region of Liddesdale, reflecting the turbulent history of the Scottish Borders during the period of frequent conflict with England.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
