What is recorded here

Castlelaw is a twentieth-century boundary marker in Midlothian, sitting beside ancient forts and military ranges. It marks the edge of a training area where human history layers like sediment: old settlement, military use, and modern administration. The place is not a display, but a lived boundary, shaped by control, memory, and the continued presence of institutions.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw as Boundary Marker (20th 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.
