What is recorded here

Craigmillar Castle Park holds the ruined walls of a border fortress where stone chambers still stand beside managed grass. The castle belongs to Edinburgh's layered history, but the park also serves people who walk dogs, watch herons or sit with children under old trees. There is no claim that a named woman lived there, only that the place keeps human life in its shape.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Craigmillar Castle Park as No Class (event) (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.

Craigmillar Castle, located in Edinburgh, was built in the late 14th century by the Douglas family, one of Scotland's most powerful noble houses. It is remembered for its strategic importance in Scottish history and its association with the Wars of Scottish Independence and later political conflicts.
