Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Burgh Castle as Schooner (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Burgh Castle is a 14th-century structure associated with the de Burgh family, built during the medieval period in northern Scotland. It is remembered for its strategic role in the region's feudal history and its connection to the powerful Burgh or de Burgh lineage.
