What is recorded here
Kilbride Castle vanished into Laigh Mains, leaving only a buried motte and a castle name behind. The land may have worn away its walls, decks and doors while people kept calling the site a castle. That is not nothing. It is a place remembering the shape of what it lost.
Site of Kilbride Castle (Laigh Mains Motte) is shown as a castle on the public map of South Lanarkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
