What is recorded here

Newhall House in Midlothian, Scotland, has worn three identities: a medieval castle, a medieval monastery, and an 18th-century country house. Stones reused through those changes may still stand where first laid, carrying chisel marks from monastery builders and joints cut for castle walls. A room built for prayer became a chamber for living, then a chamber for display, each use overwriting the last without erasing it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newhall House as Castle (medieval), Country House (18th Century), Monastery (medieval). 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.
