What is recorded here

Aberdeen, 45 Castle Street, stands as a nineteenth-century tenement, its stones shaped by hands that climbed iron stairs and carried water before pipes ran clean. The building still holds the shape of that labour, even if the names of its occupants have faded from memory. Castle Street itself has swallowed countless such lives, turning them into rhythm rather than record. What remains is not fact but pressure: the weight of many people moving through the same narrow space at the same time.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aberdeen, 45 Castle Street as Tenement (19th Century). 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.
