What is recorded here

Stirling Castle Esplanade holds a 19th Century boundary stone, marking the edge of castle land before modern streets redrawn it. The stone does not warn or decorate; it separates ownership from public memory. A person may have pressed a palm against its cold surface, wondering which side belonged to the crown and which to the town. That question still lives in the gap between the stone and the road.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Stirling Castle Esplanade as Boundary Stone (19th 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.
