What is recorded here

Mains of Rochelhill stands in Angus as a possible medieval castle later rebuilt into an 18th-century farmhouse, marking the shift from defensive ambition to domestic comfort. The exact site remains known, yet the building itself has faded enough to invite imagination about who first watched the land from its walls and who later lived there for bread and butter rather than battle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Mains of Rochelhill as Castle (medieval)(possible), Farmhouse (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
