What is recorded here

Brims Castle stands in Caithness as a medieval tower house built between 1575 and 1625, later altered into an 18th-century gabled house. Its de-listed status does not remove the castle from protection, because it remains Scheduled Monument 5510. The stones may have served as a defensive home, a household seat, or a boundary marker for local power, while the later domestic shape suggests the same place was remade for ordinary life.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brims Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.
