What is recorded here
Hoppringle is a possible medieval castle in the Scottish Borders, recorded only as a point on the national historic environment register. Its walls may never have risen above grass, or they may still lie buried beneath soil and forgotten paths. The uncertainty itself belongs to the place: a castle so faint it becomes a question rather than a monument.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hoppringle as Castle (medieval)(possible). 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.
