What is recorded here
Castleton is a medieval township in the Scottish Borders, recorded in the national historic environment register. It is not a fantasy or a duplicate; it is a named place under a national record. The absence of a visible monument does not erase it. The border landscape kept human life in soil, field names and memory long after stone disappeared.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton as Township (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.
