What is recorded here

Newmore Castle is a Post Medieval tower house in Highland, Scotland, marked by a date-stone of 1625 and narrow window slots cut for defence rather than light. It still stands as a compact stone tower with a gun port and doorway, the kind of place where a family may have watched the land, kept heat, and waited out danger. The castle belongs to the Post Medieval period, yet it is listed as a medieval tower house, a reminder that these buildings crossed centuries and kept changing hands.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newmore 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.
