What is recorded here

Roughcastle Basin still sits beside the Union Canal in Falkirk, a stone-edged cut where water once carried trade and memory. It is not a showpiece or a postcard trap. It is a working scar in the land, the kind of place that remembers being useful before it remembers being seen.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Union Canal, Roughcastle Basin as Canal Basin (period Unassigned). 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
