What is recorded here
Castle Street in Inverness still holds a compact row where domestic life and commerce collided. The houses date from the 18th Century, but the shops remain unassigned in time, leaving a gap where human activity should be. That absence is not emptiness; it is a seam. The buildings may have worn more than one skin, keeping their address while changing their purpose.

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.
