What is recorded here

Glamis Castle, Ha-ha is a post Medieval feature in Angus, Scotland, recorded on the national map with a point accurate to the nearest metre. The ha-ha is a hidden ditch or cut that keeps a boundary out of sight, allowing a horse or carriage to approach the castle without a wall blocking the view. It is a small, clever adjustment to the land, shaping how people saw the estate from a distance. Whether it guided visitors, concealed guards, or simply improved the view, the cut still works as designed: invisible until you fall into it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, Ha-ha as Ha Ha (post Medieval). 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.

Glamis Castle, Ha-ha is part of the historic Glamis Castle estate, held by the Lyon family, later Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, since the 14th century. The ha-ha is a landscape feature associated with the castle's 18th-century formal gardens, reflecting the estate's long-standing cultural and aristocratic significance in Scottish history.
