What is recorded here

Castle Street in Glasgow still carries the ghost of a cross, though no exact date or visible stone survives in the public record. The name suggests a boundary marker, a religious symbol or a civic warning that people once read at a glance. Forgive the absence of a picture or exact coordinates. The street itself remains the evidence, preserving the shape of a lost landmark through the patience of its name.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glasgow, Castle Street as Cross(s) (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.
