What is recorded here
Castlemains stands as a forgotten farmstead in Cathcart, Glasgow, reduced to a single point on an official map rather than a living memory. The absence of dates leaves the site suspended in time, forcing imagination to fill the vacant rooms and fields. It may have fed children, sheltered lovers or hidden secrets, but no human voice remains to confirm which.
