What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Richmond Castle: Outer Tay Estuary, North Sea as Craft (period Unassigned)-(1938). 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.
Richmond Castle was a steam-powered collier launched in 1887 and registered in Aberdeen. It was lost in 1938 in the Outer Tay Estuary, North Sea, likely due to a collision or grounding; no lives were lost, and its significance lies in being an example of late 19th-century collier design still in service during the early 20th century.
