What is recorded here

Castlelaw marks a boundary in Midlothian, Scotland. It stands as a twentieth-century marker, not an ancient monument. The law may have drawn a line where ownership or jurisdiction changed. People walked past it without knowing it was watching the edge of one world and the beginning of another.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw as Boundary Marker (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. 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.
