What is recorded here

Glamis Castle, Terrace, Fountain stands in Angus, Scotland, though no date or builder is recorded. Water may have climbed the terrace for centuries, reflecting castle stones and feeding hands that are gone. The fountain still belongs to the living town, not to memory alone.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, Terrace, Fountain as Fountain (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Glamis Castle, including its terrace and fountain, was built by the Lyon family, later the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, beginning in the 14th century, with significant expansions in the 16th and 18th centuries. It is important as a historic Scottish castle associated with Scottish royal history and as the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
