Stonebyres Falls, 'cairnie Castle'

Site (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Stonebyres Falls, 'cairnie Castle' in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, is an unassigned historic site where water still moves through stone. The name suggests a castle built from cairns or memory rather than mortar, perhaps a boundary marker, a child's game, or a forgotten shelter. The falls may have hidden the structure from ordinary sight, revealing it only when spray climbed the rocks or light struck the water at a rare angle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stonebyres Falls, 'cairnie Castle' as Site (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
