Castle of Claisdie

Boundary Bank (post Medieval)

What is recorded here

Claisdie is a post Medieval boundary bank in Orkney Islands, Scotland, marked on the official map within ten metres. It may have separated land claims or marked a town edge, yet no surviving account names the people who drew that line or argued over it. The bank still exists as a quiet witness to forgotten ownership, waiting for someone to walk beside it and imagine the dispute it once settled.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle of Claisdie as Boundary Bank (post 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.

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