Cromlix Castle stands in Stirling, Scotland, a medieval structure whose bones still touch the earth. Whether it guarded a valley, hid lovers, or simply housed a proud family, that much has faded. What remains is a castle in name and form, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine its lost life.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Cromlix Castle as Castle (medieval). 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.
