What is recorded here

Castle Mains is a farmhouse and farmstead in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to the nearest metre. The name suggests a castle once stood beside the fields, yet no wall or tower remains in the facts provided. A family may have farmed the land for generations, using the castle name only to claim old importance. The place still exists at a precise point, waiting for someone to walk past and imagine what the castle lost.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Mains as Farmhouse (period Unassigned), Farmstead (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.
