What is recorded here
Castle Mains Farm stands in Sanquhar, Dumfries and Galloway, its exact position known to the nearest metre though no date or owner emerges from the silence. It may have fed travellers, sheltered workers, or simply waited for hands strong enough to keep its roofs clear of rain. The land does not need a legend to be valuable, but it accepts one gladly when somebody finally walks its fields and remembers the name.

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.
