What is recorded here

Redhall Castle in Edinburgh holds a medieval castle, an eighteenth-century dovecote, and a sixteenth-century armorial panel. The dovecote suggests birds once filled the air above stone walls, perhaps belonging to people who never wrote their own names. The armorial panel still displays a family identity, proud and unapologetic, while the castle keeps its older silence beside it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Redhall Castle as Armorial Panel (16th Century), Castle (medieval), Dovecot (18th Century). 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.
