What is recorded here

Scrabster Castle is a scheduled monument in Highland, Scotland, carrying an alternate name as a Bishops Palace from the Early Iron Age to Medieval period, yet the national record also lists Anti Tank Blocks and a Pillbox from the 20th Century. The site may have served bishops, soldiers or both across centuries, layers of human ambition stacked on the same ground while the sea kept its own counsel beside it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Scrabster Castle as Anti Tank Blocks (20th Century), Pillbox (20th 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.
