What is recorded here
Stirling Castle Esplanade holds a 19th century boundary stone, a small marker for a large castle shadow. The stone may have separated ownership, marked a road, or told workers where the crown's land stopped. People walked past it so often it became invisible, yet it still draws a line under the esplanade.
