What is recorded here

Culzean Castle: Lady Isle, Firth of Clyde appears in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment as a 19th-century ship, not a castle or island at all. The name may have belonged to a vessel that sailed past Ayrshire coast before it disappeared from memory. If so, the castle and isle are later inventions layered over a forgotten ship name.
