What is recorded here

Belont Castle appears in the national record as a nineteenth-century sloop lost off Canna, not a stone building at all. The name belongs to a shipwreck, perhaps a trading vessel or private craft that struck the water and vanished beneath the Hebrides. Whatever it carried, the sea kept it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Belmont Castle: Canna, Sea of the Hebrides as Sloop (19th Century). 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.
