What is recorded here

Castle Street in Edinburgh carries a shop front from the twentieth century set into an older tenement body from the eighteenth century. That layering is typical of the old town, where commercial life keeps adapting rooms first built for residence. The address still stands within the City of Edinburgh, preserving both functions even when the street changes around it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 9, 11 Castle Street as Shop (20th Century), Tenement (18th 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.
