What is recorded here
Grounds of Lauriston Castle is a castle, fort or tower in City of Edinburgh, Scotland. Perhaps the castle vanished long before the grounds took its name, leaving only a shape in the land that people still recognize. Maybe the stones went to build other houses while the memory stayed behind, waiting for someone to walk the grass and call the place by its old title.

Lauriston Castle was built in the late 14th century by the Keith family, a prominent Scottish noble lineage. It is remembered for its historical association with the Keiths and its later use as a residence for the Dukes of Buccleuch in the 18th century.
