What is recorded here

Castlefairn stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a farmhouse without a recorded date, belonging to no visible human life in the facts provided. It may have fed children, sheltered lovers or simply waited for rain, but that is wonder rather than record. The name still sounds like a fair held inside a castle, though no castle or fair appears in the evidence.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlefairn as Farmhouse (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.
