What is recorded here

Castle Street in Banff still carries the name of a lost kingdom, but Trinity and Alvah Church belongs to the nineteenth century. Stone and memory collide there: a new church built beside an old claim, as if Aberdeenshire wanted both truths at once. The town kept its castle name while accepting a younger worshipper, proving that identity is not one fact but a stack of facts held without apology.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Banff, Castle Street, Trinity and Alvah Church as Church (19th 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
