What is recorded here

Stobs Castle, Bridge stands in the Scottish Borders as a post Medieval bridge, its exact position known to the nearest metre. Whether it carried traders, soldiers or fleeing lovers remains unrecorded, but the stones suggest repeated crossing under changing skies. The absence of a written narrative does not diminish the bridge; it invites imagination about the lives that crossed it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stobs Castle, Bridge as Bridge (post 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.

Stobs Castle, Bridge was a 16th-century tower house located in the Scottish Borders, likely built by the Stobs family, a prominent local landholding family. It is remembered for its strategic position in a region historically marked by conflict between England and Scotland, and for its later use as a prisoner-of-war camp during World War I.
