What is recorded here

Culzean Castle, Powder House stands as a 19th Century magazine in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Built to store gunpowder safely away from the main castle, it kept dangerous explosives separate from daily life. The solid walls and locked doors suggest people trusted stone more than chance. Without that distance, one spark could have erased the castle and everyone inside it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Culzean Castle, Powder House as Magazine (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.
