What is recorded here

No visible marker remains at Stirling Castle Esplanade, though the coordinate points to a boundary stone set during the 19th Century. The castle, rock and city still occupy the same place, deprived only of the small stone that once limited their reach. Forgetting one marker does not erase the boundary it served.

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 part of the historic defenses associated with Stirling Castle, a key royal residence and military stronghold in Scotland, with significant strategic importance due to its location controlling the central Lowlands. The esplanade itself reflects 19th-century military and architectural developments linked to the castle's continued use and preservation.
