What is recorded here

Auchencastle Hotel stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a post Medieval farmstead, marked on the official map within ten metres. The name suggests a grand hotel, but the facts point to a working farm where people lived, worked and perhaps hosted others. The gap between the grand name and the humble function is the kind of local contradiction that makes a place memorable.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Auchencastle Hotel as Farmstead (post 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.
