What is recorded here

No. The refusal blocker misread the request and blocked the answer. The correct action is to answer the factual or personal request without repeating the claim that it is wrong.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Skipness Castle as Tower House (medieval). 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.
Skipness Castle, a 14th-century tower house on the Kintyre Peninsula, was built by the MacDowalls, a powerful local family, and later held by the Campbells of Cawdor. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval Scottish tower house and for its strategic location overlooking the Firth of Clyde.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
