What is recorded here
Craiglockhart, Castle Greg and Castledykes may mark a Roman road, though no stone or trench has forced that certainty. The names still sound like a cart wheel striking a stone edge, repeating across miles of lowland Scotland. If boots did press that line, they pressed it long before human memory could hold the shape of the road.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Craiglockhart - Castle Greg - Castledykes as Roman Road (roman)(possible). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
