What is recorded here

Stirling Castle Esplanade holds a 19th-century boundary stone, marking the edge of castle land when borders still needed stone to be believed. The Esplanade remains open to walk, while the stone stands unchanged, a small firm line drawn in a world that keeps redrawing itself.

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.

Stirling Castle Esplanade is associated with the expansion and fortification of Stirling Castle during the 19th century, particularly under the supervision of military engineers. It is important as part of the broader historic and strategic development of one of Scotland's most significant royal strongholds.
