What is recorded here

Fifty-two and fifty-four Castle Street are two 18th-century Edinburgh houses, still standing where the old town presses close to the rock. They may have held one family, two tenants, or a small trade, but the exact lives inside have faded from the facts. The addresses remain clear on the official record even when the rooms and people become imagination.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 52, 54 Castle Street as Flat(s) (18th Century), House (18th Century). 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.
