What is recorded here

Castle Terrace Gardens is a 20th-century electricity substation in Edinburgh, still marked by 21st-century graffiti and tags. It is not a garden at all, but a working power site dressed in layered paint and local history. The name misleads, the walls speak back, and the real function remains buried under decades of marking.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Terrace Gardens as Electricity Sub Station (20th Century), Graffiti(s) (21st Century), Tag(s) (21st 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.
