What is recorded here

Baads Castle was a medieval castle in West Lothian, Scotland, probably dating from 1558, originally owned by James Douglas and burned in 1736. Its exact site has long been disputed, but old maps, a preserved family Bible and stones at Little Harwood hint that it stood near Baads Mill or west of the road to Carnwath. Whatever shape it wore, it belonged to the Douglas world: a house, a coal seam, a memory and a warning about how quickly stone can become story.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Baads Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
