What is recorded here

Tor Castle stands in the Highland as a medieval tower house, its stones still marking the ground where people once watched the horizon. The exact date and the names of its occupants have faded, but the shape remains: a small, defensible house built to keep out what the land and sea could send. It is not a grand palace or a crowded market town. It is a compact castle, the kind that demanded respect and gave little back.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tor Castle as Castle (medieval), Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
