What is recorded here

Ruecastle is a possible tower in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a date and marked only to the nearest kilometre. The uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation: a tower may have stood there, watched a valley, or vanished so completely that even its age escaped notice. What remains is a point on a map and a name that sounds like rust and castle joined together.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ruecastle as Tower (period Unassigned)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
