What is recorded here
Inverness Castle and the Great Glen Way Monolith occupy the same uncertain space, recorded as an event rather than a building and belonging to no known period. The castle name suggests stones, chambers and power, while the monolith suggests a single marker standing beside the Glen. Neither description fits the other without invention. What is certain is that the place still exists under two different meanings, one grand and one bare, waiting for a person to say which part is true.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inverness Castle, Great Glen Way Monolith as No Class (event) (period Unassigned). 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.
