What is recorded here

Mortonhall castle stood in Edinburgh during the medieval era, though no visible structure remains to mark its exact footprint. The absence does not diminish the place; it redirects attention to the lives that filled its rooms and the reasons it was built. What is lost is not nothing. It is simply no longer visible, and memory must carry what stone has surrendered.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Mortonhall as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
