What is recorded here

Midmar Castle Policies holds a rubbing stone, a post Medieval marker where human hands may have pressed cloth or skin against rough rock. The gesture sounds like love, desperation or prayer, yet no written account survives to confirm the intention. A woman may have rubbed the surface during fever, a child may have traced it for joy, or a stranger may have marked passage through dark wood. The stone keeps that uncertainty intact, waiting for imagination rather than fact.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Midmar Castle Policies, Rubbing Stone as Rubbing Stone (post Medieval). 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.
