Castle Stripe

Tower House (medieval)

What is recorded here

Castle Stripe stands in Moray as a medieval tower house, its stones marked by time rather than display. It may have guarded a narrow stretch of land or simply given a family a place to stand above the surrounding fields. The absence of a grand entrance does not diminish it; it preserves the quiet tension of a building that answered to survival before pride.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Stripe as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built in the late medieval period, Castle Stripe is remembered as a tower house associated with the historical landscape of the Scottish Borders, reflecting the defensive and social structures of the region during that time.

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