What is recorded here

Broomhall is a possible medieval castle in Edinburgh, but no visible structure or certain date survives in the official record. It may have been a hall, a tower, a boundary marker or a household claimant to castle status. The absence of evidence does not remove the place; it withholds the shape of the story.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Broomhall as Castle (medieval)(possible), Pendant (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.
