What is recorded here

Castle Mains is a possible farmstead and platform in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, recorded without a clear period. The name suggests a castle, but the evidence points to a working field site rather than a grand hall. A family may have farmed the land, built a boundary, and forgotten the castle part entirely. The main is still there, resisting the grandeur the name invites.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Mains as Farmstead (period Unassigned)(possible), Platform (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.
