What is recorded here

Dolphin House Terraces hold the castle within South Ayrshire. They are recorded only as terraces, without a date or visible warning that they belong elsewhere. That absence makes the stones sound bigger, as if they waited for people to notice the shape they kept hidden.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Culzean Castle Policies, Dolphin House Terraces as Terrace(s) (period Unassigned). 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.

Culzean Castle, associated with the Policies and Dolphin House Terraces, was built by the Kennedy family in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is important as a prominent example of Scottish coastal architecture and as the seat of the Earls of Cassilis.
