Edinburgh, Castlehill, Head of Ramsay Lane

House (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Ramsay Lane heads into Edinburgh Castlehill, where a house still stands at the top of the climb. The lane is narrow enough that breath, rain and passing bodies share the same air. It is the kind of place where people lived close to stone, noise and each other, and where forgetting is difficult because the street itself keeps repeating the shape of the climb.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Castlehill, Head of Ramsay Lane as House (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
