What is recorded here

Castle Law is a post-Medieval enclosure in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, where the boundary between private land and public memory still draws a sharp line. The name evokes ancient castle doctrine, yet this is a lived Scottish landscape where ownership and exclusion remain central. A person may walk past its edge or stand forbidden from crossing it, depending on whose rules apply at that moment. The law of the castle is not abstract there; it is measured in fences, fields and the certainty of who belongs where.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Law as Enclosure(s) (post Medieval). 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.
