What is recorded here
Castlehill has no master plan, only rooms that answered pressure. Semple House stands at 541 because someone needed a door, a stair and a place to remember whether life continued. That much is clear. The rest belongs to the people who used it, including the ones never named.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 541 Castlehill, Semple House as Tenement (17th 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
