What is recorded here
Montrose, Castle Street holds a hidden coin hoard, waiting beneath ordinary stone. The coins may have fallen during a busy market day or been buried deliberately to keep them safe from theft. Whichever is true, the metal has sat in darkness ever since, unchanged while the town changed above it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Montrose, Castle Street as Coin Hoard (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.
