What is recorded here
Castlemaddy is a hunting lodge in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, recorded without a date or owner in the national historic environment register. Its exact position is known only to the nearest hundred metres, leaving the building hidden behind mist, bracken or forgotten field boundaries. The absence of a date suggests the lodge may have been built, abandoned and rebuilt so often that no single era claimed it. A hunting lodge exists to watch other creatures move through darkness, but in Galloway the watcher may also be watched.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlemaddy as Hunting Lodge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. 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.
