What is recorded here
Castlelaw is a prehistoric stone disc in Midlothian, Scotland, still marked by a fort and settlement beside modern firing ranges. It is not a hidden fantasy, but a lived landscape where old walls and military practice share the same soil. The disc may have served as a boundary, a ritual marker or a local landmark, yet no clear human account survives to confirm that use.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw as Disc (stone)(prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. 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.
