What is recorded here
Perhaps you picture Robert the Bruce raising his standard at the Castle of Dumfries, with James Douglas watching from beside him. The official record for Castledykes names only a spindle whorl, leaving the grand scene as local story rather than proven history.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledykes as Spindle Whorl (period Unassigned). 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.
