What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hms Racoon as Destroyer (period Unassigned)-(1918). 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.
HMS *Racoon* was a British Royal Navy destroyer launched in 1873 and sunk in 1918, likely during World War I. It was lost off the Scottish coast, with no details of casualties or cargo provided, but its wreck remains a notable example of late 19th-century naval technology in Scottish waters.
