What is recorded here
Ferneycastle is a rectangular stone border in the Scottish Borders, built by human hands but never dated or named in the public record. The lines are still straight, which means the frame is doing its job even when the story has left it. Walk past the corner and the shape stops being a fact. It becomes a room with no floor, waiting for the person who remembers what the angle holds.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ferneycastle as Rectilinear Enclosure (period Unknown). 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.
