What is recorded here
Edinburgh Castle, Boundary Stone Number 8, stands as a nineteenth-century marker of the castle's reach. A small stone, it draws a line between the fortress and the city below. That line still matters because it separates castle ground from public ground. The stone does not invite entry, but it makes the edge visible.
