What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Urquhart Castle as Die (bone)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Urquhart Castle, located on the shores of Loch Ness, was originally built by the MacKintosh clan in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Ross and the Crown of Scotland. It is important due to its strategic location and its long history of military conflict, as well as its association with Scottish resistance to English rule.
