What is recorded here
Mistaken identity breeds fantasy. Castlebank belongs in Clare, not Dumfries. The O'Brien keystone from 1578 still watches the yard, proof that medieval power survives inside ordinary farm buildings.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlebank as Farmhouse (period Unassigned). 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.
