What is recorded here

Castle Mains Farm, Dirleton sits in East Lothian, Scotland, where the land still carries the shape of human use even though no formal historic class has been recorded for it. The name suggests a household that served a castle, perhaps providing food, labour or shelter to people who never entered grand halls. That absence of classification does not diminish the place; it refuses to be reduced to a single date or category.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Mains Farm, Dirleton as No Class (event) (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
