What is recorded here

Stirling Castle Esplanade holds a 19th-century boundary stone, a small marker beside a much larger castle shadow. The stone may have drawn a line for ownership, survey or law, while people walked past it without knowing the line at all. Boundary stones often sound boring until you imagine the moment they stopped being obvious.
