The Castles

Building (period Unassigned), Platform (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

The Castles sit in the Scottish Borders as a building and platform, their age still unrecorded but their shape certain enough to mark on a precise point. They may have served as a watchtower, a boundary marker, or a private stage for someone who wanted the land to notice them. The stones remain, waiting for a hand to touch them and a memory to return.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records The Castles as Building (period Unassigned), Platform (period Unassigned). 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.

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