What is recorded here
Lochinch Castle and its gardens belong to the 18th Century in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The precise location is already known, though permission to walk the grounds remains separate from knowing where they lie. That distinction matters because clarity about a place is not the same as ownership of it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lochinch Castle, Gardens as Garden(s) (18th Century). 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.
Lochinch Castle was built in the 17th century by the Kennedy family, who held it for generations. It is remembered for its historical association with the Covenanters and its strategic location in south-west Scotland.
