What is recorded here

Thurso Castle, the Lodge and Gateway stands at the edge of Highland history, its stones marked by time but never defined by date. The lodge and gateway still frame the approach, inviting imagination into what they guarded. Whether they controlled trade, troop movement or private passage remains unknown, but their shape suggests importance. They rise from the land as a threshold, waiting for someone to remember what crossed them.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Thurso Castle, the Lodge and Gateway as Gate Lodge (period Unassigned), Gateway (period Unassigned). 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.
