What is recorded here

Upper Whitcastles is a farmhouse and farmstead in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to the nearest ten metres. The exact location suggests an ordinary working home rather than a grand display, yet the absence of a date leaves its age and changes open to imagination. It may have stood through quiet centuries of local life, adapting to weather, ownership and use without attracting national attention.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Upper Whitcastles as Farmhouse (period Unassigned), Farmstead (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.
