What is recorded here

Castle Grant is a ruined mansion in Highland, Scotland where Sir Ludovic Grant swallowed an older sixteen-century wing inside a new John Adam construction between 1753 and 1783. The visible L-shaped fragment still wears its original corbelled parapet, while the larger house has faded back into stone and memory. A medieval brooch surfaced near the site, suggesting people have long gathered there to mark identity, ownership or love before the grand rooms appeared.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Grant as Findspot (period Unassigned), Brooch (medieval). 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.

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