What is recorded here
Lochmaben and Balcastle Hotel occupy a narrow strip of Dumfries and Galloway where human memory has outgrown the facts available to it. The name suggests a town, a building, a presence, but no date or event has yet been written beside it. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part of the story that has not yet been spoken.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lochmaben, Balcastle Hotel as No Class (event) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. 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.
