What is recorded here

Castle Mains stands in South Lanarkshire as an 18th Century house, its walls holding the shape of a life no longer visible. It may have welcomed laughter, argument, quiet prayer or ordinary meals before forgetting claimed the names of its people. The house remains marked on the official map with a point accurate to the nearest metre, yet clarity of location does not grant entry. Knowledge and permission are different animals; one can see the mark without touching the door.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Mains as House (18th Century). 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.
