What is recorded here

Stobo Castle is a 19th Century country house in the Scottish Borders, built when castle-like homes suited the imagination of their owners rather than the demands of war. Its rooms may have hosted feasts, arguments and quiet mornings, while its shape still suggests a place where pride and comfort shared the same walls.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stobo Castle as Country House (19th Century). 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.

Stobo Castle was built in the 19th century as a country house, likely by a local landowning family. It is remembered for its historical association with the Stobo Estate and as an example of Scottish country house architecture from that period.
